I have two male cats, one three year old and one five year old. For about six months now they've both been wearing soft paws without any problems (we got new furniture and didn't want either of them scratching it accidently).
Recently though my five year old (Julius) has started to bite his soft paws off of his feet. I will spend a good ten minutes applying the soft paws, and within five minutes after I'm done he'll be sitting there on the floor trying to chew them off. Just yesterday I put ten new soft paws on each of his front toes, and this morning already four of them are gone.
We're moving into a new house in about a month, and Julius doesn't try to claw things he shouldn't, but he manages to catch his claws in things. I do clip them all the time, they aren't particularly long or sharp (he's great about me clipping them).
How do I keep the soft paws on him? If I can't keep them on I don't know what other alternatives I'll have, I don't want to declaw at all but we need to make sure he can't claw things.
The other cat (Spunky) does fantastic with his and has never tried to chew them off.
If I can't use the soft paws are there any other alternatives?
Thanks in advance!!
