zetpo Cat Nail Caps | Cat Claw Covers | with Adhesives and Applicators (M, 5X Glitter Random Colors | 100 pcs)

Our 7-month old cat was getting to where he wanted to climb curtains and scratch on everything. We were prepared to have him declawed, even though we really did not want to. On a hunch my son said we should try these.Here's what we've found:1. You need to also get a clippers and clip the tip of the nail off. Our cat was definitely not thrilled about this, but we got through it. Plan on having help.2. The nail covers are easy to apply. We got the size small and our cat weighs about 8 lb at this time. The covers fit just fine over his nails. Again, it will probably be a 2 person job, but it went quickly.3. We filled the hollow nail caps about 1/3 full. They slipped on easily and the glue hardens fast.4. The cat did try to pull them off, but was unsuccessful. We also distracted him during his first evening wearing them.5. None have fallen off yet, and we're on the third day. He now pays no attention to them at all. He can retract and extend his nails just like before, but they don't damage things now. Also, we only did the front feet. I don't think the back feet need to be done.Here's the important thing:. The undesirable behaviors stopped immediately. I don't know if the cat can sense that it doesn't have the ability to grasp things with its front claws anymore, but for whatever the reason, he has not attempted to scratch furniture or pull the curtains down since we put these on.We know we will have to repeat this as his nails regrow and the caps fall off. Nonetheless, it's a small financial and time sacrifice, and we won't have to declaw him now. Also, the bright colors of the caps make it easy to check if he still has them over all his claws.We were skeptical, but so far these are working great.EDIT - We are finding we need to do about 2-3 caps per week, on average. Some of this is probably due to nail growth and some to them coming off. Our cat is much less interested in trying to take them off as time goes by, so the Cat Acceptance Factor is improving. All in all, we figure we spend about 3-5 minutes per week maintaining these claws on him. We will gladly do this vs. having him de-clawed.

We have 2 out of 4 cats that are determined to use the side of the couch to maintain their nails on. Not even spray deterrent gets them away from the couch. After replacing one couch I decided it was time to start using caps on one of them again, and it was going to be a first time deal for the second. Our female cat knows the drill. She doesn’t like it but she lets my husband hold her while I clip her nails back and get these on her—which takes maybe 4-5 minutes total. The boy cat? He’s a royal pain in the, well.. you know how that statement ends. We get 3-4 minutes before the battle begins but they’re already on because of the ease of use and level of adhesion. This product comes in handy with him because they’re easy and he can’t chew them off immediately like he could with the brand in stores. The adhesion and thickness of this product withstands a still somewhat feral cat. I think that says something. Considering his determination to try and get them off and failing miserably (haha, that’s what you get, you beautiful little -mostly- demon cat.. who is still much loved in this household) this product is most definitely worth the money. We even bought a size down for the other kitten we rescued to get him used to the drill as soon as possible.One warning though—if you have a cat whose claws grow quickly, KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR CAPS! Our female’s claws grow at the speed of light and I typically have to remove them and cut her nails back. They’re easy to remove with nail clippers and don’t hurt her. Just irritates her a bit, lol. We did have one incident where her nails grew so fast and they hadn’t fallen off that one was pushing into her paw pad. That was not fun, and required a vet visit to be on the safe side. So if your cats claws grow really fast, just watch them. :) That’s the only problem we’ve had and it wasn’t due to the caps themselves. It was due to her nails and how fast they grow. I’ve purchased these several times and will continue to do so. They come in fun colors too :)

These were actually a little big on my big ole male cat, which was surprising. I ordered the medium. A few days later most of the caps are still on, a couple have fallen off. Could be application, but they’re nice for the price. Easy to use and figure out application. They’re very cute on him lol! Helps me keep him from scratching his injured ear well.

I've been using nail caps for my cats for years. I started by buy the name brand but with two cats, it got expensive so I looked for alternatives. I ordered an off-brand and they seemed to work pretty well. I mean, it's not complicated. I just ordered these about a month ago and applied to both of my cats. Within the week, neither cat had any on. Maybe I got a bad batch of glue?

First things first, your cat will hate them, they always do. Good news is they work great and are a great value! My cat has to wear them for my immunocompromised mother (she can't take chances when it comes to cat scratch fever). The cat has gotten used to them and doesn't mind them much anymore. Mom can safely play with the cat and as a bonus she can't scratch the furniture!
