I am trying soft paws, I want to put them on Kipper so bad, but he will not let me near them claws of his. Maybe that's because by husband makes fun of his "toe furs". Them hairs that hang off thier feet....he's a long long haired cat, so there is hair everywhere on him.
Anyway, I have to try and clip those nails, and THEN somehow put the nail caps on. YEAH RIGHT!!!!
I called all the local groomers, but I am getting the feeling that this might cost me like an extra 20 bucks to have them help me do this. I have an appt. at Petco Grooming on Thursday, but they say around 28 bucks, but she wasnt sure...Havahart grooming says "I have never done that" and then I asked if they just hold him with thier leash thing, or a collar thing, and they said "yea, even then, we dont know anything about this" So they arent any help.
Then I called some local private groomers, and none have answered the phone yet. Hmmm....
Any Idea on how much this might cost?? Or any tips on getting him in one spot to do this...I have tried doing it while he was sleeping, and he bit me, tried giving him catnip while doing it, and he bit me, tried doing it plain as day, and he growled and bit me. So this might be impossible for me. My husband says he wont help me because he thinks it is mean to put them on his cat.
I am simply doing this because I brought a new kitten into the home a few weeks ago, and kipper has been pretty mean about the whole thing, and went after all of us, with full forced claws and growls. And one time, he spotted the kitten through the crack of the door, and was trying to "stab" the kitten. It's like he uses those claws to kill. lol. Im hoping soft paws is my alternative to de-clawing.
Any info would be great...Thanks so much, sorry bout the long post, once I get going, I cant be stopped. lol
Oh yea, Has anyone looked at the back of the box of soft paws???!!!!! Do you see that cat sitting there all quiet and content??? Is that REAL? lol, I dont know if anybodys cat would be that still.
