Ok I see this as a rather bad idea. My cats don't really tear stuff up but my Angel (right!!) likes to get a running start and leap up the door frame and grab on for fun then slide down. I don't understand this, but whatever gets her rocks off. On the other hand I do live in an apartment and it is not the best thing for me to let her do but they are old plaster walls with all sorts of cracks and little holes in them. anyways back to the soft claws. Won't they eat them? Can they eat them? How do you hold the cat down long enuogh to get them on? I mean my one cat would sleep though it. He sleeps though being picked up and moved. I just think they would eat them. they chew there claws alot. they do look cool. I don't know.... anything would be helpful!!
