Soft Paws are great for households with small children, as they guard against the child getting scratched. They are also extremely useful for people who are away from home all day and simply can't apply the watchfulness necessary to train a cat to use a scratching post. Soft Paws last approximately four to six weeks once Kitty becomes accustomed to them. At first they will 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.
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 two to three months, depending on your cat. After applying the Soft Paws, check Kitty's claws weekly. You'll probably find one or two caps missing from time to time, and these are easily replaced using the adhesive included in the kit.
