It's a little bag you put your cat into and it unzips near each leg to pull one out at a time to clip their claws, etc.

I strongly recommend that you don't buy this bag for several reasons: (1) My cat hated it. The material is somewhat hard and noisy (like a windbreaker jacket), and my cat was instantly afraid of it. You are way better off wrapping your cat in a towel, which is far less traumatic. (2) The design sucks. The inside material kept getting caught in the zipper, so I couldn't quickly zip up the bag. I had to keep pushing the inside material away from the zipper as I was trying to zip it up, which is not easy to do with a struggling, freaked out cat! (3) The manufacturer, John Bachman, does not stand by his product and refuses to give refunds. So you are out $39.90 if your cat hates the bag or, as in my case, it simply does not work because of the zipper (yes, he refused to issue a refund even when the bag was malfunctioning).
I almost bought one of these until I read this review from Amazon and I laughed so hard my belly hurt. It also made me decide against the purchase because it's cheap. LOL!, My cat can pass for hellspawn on a bad day (especially if I'm trying to trim her claws). Everyone on TCS should read this it's hilarious!
The two 10 month old cats I've adopted are seeming savages and think nothing of tearing into me if I dare touch them. This is not the personas they presented when I decided to take them home with me, but that's another story. The simple fact is this bag does not work and lulled me into a state of security that left me brutalized. In a matter of one minute it was in shreds and so were my hands. It was as if the devil himself at burst forth from Hades, accompanied by all his legions of demons. I was in tears and my wife was screaming as the kitten darted around the living room as if it was in a scene from Alien. The sound that came from her tiny vocal cords is something that no one in my home will ever forget and prays they will never hear again. The bag failed and the pain, blood, and agonizing horror still haunt me. The cats continue to do as they wish and we are helpless. Their claws grow longer everyday and they become more unapproachable. I have had cats all my life and have never seen anything like this pair. Perhaps this product would work with an animal who was more domesticated, such as a pet ocelot or cougar. But if your cat enjoys seeing you in pain and inflicts it at its leisure, without hestitation and with a complete lack of empathy for you as its caretaker, this bag will prove useless.


Again I have absolutely no experience with this product. I pulled that review from Amazon.com as I said in the previous post. I was going to buy it as my little girl hates having her nails clipped, and that poor guy's rant made me decide not to take the plunge. I think realistically it just depends on the cat. My little critter is just resistant to pretty much everything:
-She howls like a banshee in the car, and tries to break her way out of the cat carrier...
-I have tried a million different patient ways of cutting her claws: cutting them one at a time in her sleep (she wakes up and then hides from me for a week), holding her down and cutting them all at once (she howels the whole time, and pulls her paw away just as I'm about to cut and I'm afraid I'm going to cut her, and letting the vet cut them on her last visit ( I don't think they did b/c they didn't look like they'd been cut)
-She will roll, lick, kick, and rub off any topical medication (flea & tick) you apply to her within a couple of hours so I have to apply an E-collar to her for a day until it dries (which makes her miserable). You'd think she'd just not lick it off but NOOOOO! That's too easy...
Don't get me wrong she's a wonderful kitty. I love her more than life itself. She's loveable and playful and so much fun to be around. She has a great personality. She's just a nut when it comes to having anything done to her.
