Can these be used on the back claws also? My cat doesn't purposely scratch furniture, only when he jumps off using his back paws.

Yes, they fit all claws. I've put them on all 4 feet before. Just be sure the cat doesn't go outside because one of his lines of defense against predators is climbing.

I use this mat and it is non slip so I believe you can safely use. The only thing I would think that could cause a problem is if your cats claws should get caught in the slits. Good luck!

The nails stay on about a month. You'll see a couple come off and that's maybe cuz your cat chews on them. I stopped using soft claws because my cat didn't like them and I felt bad. Invest on a large cat scratching post. My cat loves it. Sits on it all day long. And it's the only thing she goes after to scratch.

I would say yes, they would soften the claw. You do need to rove and let nail breath, just like our nails so the dog does not get fungus. They have kept my dogs claws from scratching my daughters wood floors.

Until the cat chews them off.. our cat left only one alone, and chewed the others off or would just chew the tip off and her nails would be exposed again.. I wouldn't suggest buying them.

Depends on your cat. We have two, and as soon as they are on, they go to work at pulling them off. I try to replace them as soon as I find one is off (you'll find them all over the house so you can resuse them). My hope is they will get accustomed to them and leave them alone but so far no luck. Problem is, I am unaware of any other solution to stop cats from tearing up furniture.

I am not a vet, but from what I can tell the cats claws aren't truly extended. My cats have been wearing these for several months now, and they don't seem to cause any harm. The cats do try to pull at the covers for the first hour or so after the initial application, but then they forget about them. They run, play, climb, and claw at their scratching posts the same way as without the covers. I think that the claw may grow out a bit, allowing the claw to retract in, fairly rapidly. On my cats, the soft claw covers only the first 2/3 of the claw even when they are freshly applied.

This is for a cat to scratch its claws and sharpen them which they do out of stress. It is not something an animal could rub its back on.

My son just keeps them on a shelf. Although he he believes the claws are durable and you should be ok.

My cat seems to jump to get up to a lot of places and she has not trouble getting anywhere. I think the recommendation is to just use them on the front claws that they scratch a lot with. They will still use scratching posts often.

The only thing they can really use to get to the top level is that little side hammock/basket which doesn't provide a stable jumping surface at all. The only reason my cats can reach the top level is because I put it right next to our couch. As far as the claws go, he/she shouldn't need them, neither of my cats are declawed and it hasn't helped them out.

It would probably work fine. But to be honest, I would rather just clip. My cats would not hold still for that. My male cat, I can clip all his claws in a minute flat without another person even holding him. Even if he tolerated the sound and feeling of the pedipaws, it would take longer.

They roll very nice on hard wood floors. If your floors are very nice I would not use it on a hard wood floor without some kind of protection. Over time I think they would scratch.

My cats can jump up the levels of the tree without using their claws. They only use their claws to scratch the posts. Hope this helps. It is a nice car tree.

My cats are declawed in the front but have the rear claws. We never had an issue. Unless your cats' claws are long, it shouldn't be an issue.

Our home has hardwood floors and I haven't noticed any scratches occurring from these feet. They are hard plastic, so rough or extended play on the floors could foreseeably result in a scratch. Ideally, these work better on carpet or a rug, since they could slide around more on the hard floor.

I personally think that this is great for kittens because they are always on the move and this is something they can run and jump on. About claw covers< I dont know anything about that. What I do know is that if your cat likes to scratch, you need more than one scratching post. I have several all around my space.
