Re: Need some advice re cat :)


What a great idea - hope it works and that they stay on long enough for little Sparrow to heal.

Excellent news! Sometimes you just need something to break the cycle; in this case the soft claws seem to be doing the trick.

Re: Need some advice re cat :)


Hi sorry guys haven't been on for a while The soft claws I got from Ebay I started with a UK seller as I needed them asap they were £10 a set but I now use a hong kong supplier 99p and loads of colours but they take 6 weeks to arrive!

To get them on I recommend starting with the front claws as those are the ones they are going to attack with when you do the back paws lol ...You need 2 really brave volunteers too 1 to hold the paws and one to hold the cat ha ha ! all you do is gently squeeze the paw to extend the claw then put a tiny (I mean tiny!!) drop of glue into the bottom of the soft claw then you gently slide it over the claw and your done! you have to watch the cat for a few mins after applying them but afetr that, thats it! just wait for them to come off as they shed the claws, Sparrow now has multi coloured toes coz I just replace them as and when they come off

OO I forgot to say Sparrow has fully healed at last! and we now know he is allergic to flea treatment! at the mo he doesn't have fleas and I'm that as I keep on top of the dogs and other cats flea treatment he shouldn't get any. Both cats are house cats atm, Mittens used to live outside and only come back for food but since we moved in december she wont go out !

Re: Need some advice re cat :)


I am so glad that Sparrow has healed ....... what a grand thing you have done for him. You have sought a remedy and thankfully it has worked for him. You deserve a pat on the back and probably a big purr from Sparrow.
