Kitty Caps Nail Caps: White/Orange and Clear/Blue Glitter, 40 Count, Large

Absolutely brilliant! I was very stressed to see my cat with big and deep scatches on his neck, this came about due to using a soft cone to protect another area of damage on his side.These do NOT hurt your cat, I have no idea what lies the negative reviewers have been reading or watching, probably something on tik tok....so much ignorance :(Goodness knows what he'd been up to, but he had a long layer of skin missing on his shoulder and he kept licking it and damaging the healing. I'd put on a layer of bandages and it was healing nicely, took them off after 3 days later and he was back to licking until raw...really wasn't ideal to keep him trussed up in vet wrap. Thus the soft cone, then the scratching damage from him not liking it etc etc I didn't know what else to do, but I did a deep dive into handling this kind of problem on vet sites, reading published research. I didn't want him to have anti-anxiety meds and the vet bill would be ridiculous just to see him and medicate. This was the last resort tbhWonderful invention! I've put on the orange tipped ones on his back feet so I can see if he's lost any over the next week. They are easy to put on, just clip the tip of the claw, apply the glue and keep them occupied until they're stuck fast. He has lost a couple now, but the healing is pretty much done, it stopped him damaging his scabs so it's healed perfectly. The photos show one of the areas he wouldn't leave alone. He looks so moth-eaten now lolI would never use these for stopping him scratching the furniture, if you want a cat, you have to put up with them wanting to do this, they are marking their territory and sloughing off old nails. You wouldn't want your natural habits curtailed as a human, would you? If you have a problem with this scratching behaviour, don't get a cat....it's as simple as that.

This states they will fall off within 4-8 weeks, we are now on week 12, only 1 or 2 have came off on 2 cats. Both my cats claws have now grown to the point that the caps are digging into their toe beans. They are so difficult to get off it is distressing for the cat. Avoid at all costs.

Our vet advised us to use nail caps following our kittens facial injury. A good idea but not small enough for a kitten and they keep falling off. ....glue has to set for 5 minutes and a kitten wont stay still that long.

They are OK, but as they cast the nail cover off these will come off. We got them to try and stop my cat itching her head until it bled. Vet made us do hypoallergenic food and lots of creams but nothing helped, so poor cat was living in a soft collar. Was going to get these to help, but came off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Ended up taking her off all food with chicken and she hasn’t scratched since.

Update: I have since tried another brand providing more caps with more colors for about the same price, they were awful. The caps were much thicker and fell off quickly. These caps were still on after all of the new brand ones had fallen off even though these were applied way before. I also think having these be a thinner cover also means he does not notice them. I only use them on his back paws and he never fussed with them or seems to notice them at all 🤷🏻‍♀️.I saw lots of negative reviews on here suggesting these are cruel. In general if you have an indoor cat you can just trim their nails and it does much the same thing as these. HOWEVER my cat had an allergic reaction to a new food which caused him to scratch his neck. He now keeps scratching the scabs off. I can use these in his back paws to create a mail he can’t injure himself with while his neck heals. This is MUCH kinder than a cone which makes animals miserable. It’s hard for them to eat, get in and out of the cat box, walk, and they can’t clean themselves. While these mail covers would never be my go-to cat maintenance, for an injury they are PERFECT.These might be a great option if you are traveling with a cat as well if you need to ensure they do not damage anything.

So you need to clipYour cat’s claws before using these. So what the point of them is I don’t know. I wanted them to stop him scratching after his operation. In the end I just had his claws trimmed. Returned.

The nails look like fake nails look cute but I noticed it started her feet, hard to jump on things so I took them. Her skin was sore around the nails

I have a 13 year old cat. I've tried everything and clearly failed as a cat mother because she will not stop scratching carpets. We were renting so I had to put these on her or risk having to move. She didn't mind having them on or even notice once they were on, the glue didn't smell at all. Only advice is to make sure you clip the cats claws when replacing them or the caps will dig into their pads.
