I remember reading about these false claws when they first came out. They were a response to the abhorrent practise of de-clawing in the US, and were seen as a new dawn so to speak. It's much better to use them instead of de-clawing, but still not absolutely necessary.

The way I see it, is if using them causes your cat distress or frustration, don't use them. But if your cat doesn't care and has a habit of destroying every man-made fabric in existence then they could be a godsend. Personally I would rather trim the claws of one of my cats as it doesn't inhibit the shedding process the way false claws can apparently do.

My big fatty Felix has never been able to fully retract his claws, and as a result we do trim them once a month. It prevents him from getting stuck on everything, and helps reduce damage to our clothing, bedding, carpet, sofa etc etc... Thankfully he doesn't mind as long as he gets treats. He is a very placid laid back kinda guy.

I really can't condone you using those awful plastic claws on your cat, poor thing!!

But I had a similar problem with my old boy last year, and I lived in furnished rented accommodation so I purchased some Sticky Paws strips from Pet Planet (double sided sticky to stick to problem areas on the sofa, without leaving a mark when you remove) and they stopped him scratching the sofa. Much nicer than forcibly attaching plastic to your kitty's feet with toxic glue
