There
is another very desirable option to declawing, a wonderful
product call Soft Paws. These are lightweight vinyl caps
that you apply over your cat's own claws. They have rounded
edges, so your cat's scratching doesn't damage your home
and furnishings. You can order Soft Paws on the Web at http://www.softpaws.com
or call 1-800-989-2542. Soft Paws are great for households
with small children, as they guard against the child getting
scratched. Soft Paws last approximately six weeks once Kitty
becomes accustomed to them. At first they may feel a bit
strange to her and she may groom them excessively, causing
them to come off sooner. She'll get used to them quickly
though, and thereafter they will last longer. It is amazing
how well cats tolerate the Soft Paws, most don't even
notice they are wearing them. Soft Paws also come in colors
that look as if your cat is wearing nail polish.
Soft
Paws come in a kit and are easy to apply. Just glue them
on. They are generally applied to the front paws only, since
these are what cause most of the destruction to your home.
A kit will last approximately three to six months, depending
on your cat. After applying the Soft Paws, check Kitty's
claws weekly. You may find one or two caps missing from
time to time, and these are easily replaced using the adhesive
included.
