Softpaws. The alternative to declawing - So, tell me /an/, what do you these of these little plastic caps for cat's claws? I've heard a lot of people argue that they're 'inhumane' but the worst I can see is that they might make the cats in question look a little silly.

Well, if you absolutely have to stop your cat from scratching stuff, and you don't have the time and energy to clip the nails every once in a while, then yes, softpaws are the humane option. At least it involves no mutilation.
>> That Gomez
yes but the issue is that they come off very easily. We tried these on two of our cats. the procedure was expensive and the things came off within a couple of weeks. Humane, yes. Expensive, yes. Helpful, no.

Scratching posts are the best alternative by far.
>> Bitter Anon !!WJLRQ1cwCyZ
>>113914
The procedure was expensive? Did you have a vet or groomer put them on? Seriously, just do it yourself. If you can't hold your cat long enough to do that, then you have bigger problems than scratching furniture.

Declawing should never even be considered an option. So really, Softpaws should be called the alternative to scratching posts.

I broke a girl's nose because she bought a champion-quality nebulang kitten and had it declawed because it *might* "hurt" her appleheaded teacup chi. Stupid paris hilton wannabe lesbian.

Just get a scratching post. Sheesh, claw caps are just a crude hack. They remove the problem but they dont solve it.

I have the time and energy, but I also have pet rabbits. Softpaws are good if you have energetic kittens that are constantly attacking your other pets. I have also heard of situations where a particularly aggressive cat either had to be declawed or put to sleep, and softpaws were an acceptable solution. So, you know, softpaws are great for saving furniture and stuff, but there are other legitimate reasons for them.

>>113914

What "procedure?" You put them on by yourself. Also, the packaging and the website both warn that the first application won't last as long because the cat usually messes with them. Once your cat is used to them, they last about 6 weeks before falling off.

OP - I've heard people suggest they were inhumane, but it's typically people that don't understand how they work or how much MORE humane they are than declawing. They don't affect a cat's behavior at all, and certianly don't hurt. In fact, they keep my cat from accidentally scratching herself, which she used to do before.
>> Anonymous
I use these things on my cat.

When time comes to put them on her, I just wrap her up in a towel and gently pull her paws out.

I usually set everything up beforehand.
I clip all her nails, then let her go while I get the tips ready.
I arrange them and whatnot, put the glue in them, then go get her again.

I do it pretty quick, so it's the least discomfort she has to experience.
The only part she really hates is when I give the tips one last push, to make sure they're completely on her nail.

After that, it's like she forgets all about it.
She doesn't fuss with them at all.

But.. about a month later, she starts to chew at them, because her nails have grown back and it's pushing them off.


I like 'em a lot. They're damn convenient.

This actually reminds me, I need to buy some more.

why do you fags all have such idiotic problems with your cats? i always had cats, have 2 now and raised about 10 motherless kitten over the years... none of these ever seriouly scratched anything. if you know how to treat a cat, they don't scratch you. if you have a strategically positioned scratching post, they don't damage your furniture. and they don't scratch dogs or kids, if they (dogs&kids) are not completly retarded anyway.

SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Seconded, I have three cats, they don't even have a scratching post, they use the fence outside. Never made a mark on anything indoors. It's not right to declaw cats, they use their claws for climbing. Also, they run into other cats and stuff when they're out, so they need their claws to defend themselves.

If you've never had a problem cat, great. I wish everyone's life could be so simple that all their pets were nice and got along. However, cats have individual personalities, and what works for some cats and their owners may not work for others. Softpaws works for my cat because she is still a boisterous kitten and she is constantly batting my rabbits in the head. Without softpaws, she probably would've clawed an eye by now. With softpaws, the rabbits just think she's petting them on the head, which they enjoy. It's a win-win situation.
>> Anonymous
>>114117
not so win. this way she won't learn not to use her claws when she plays with other animals or humans. and that will hurt much more when she's grown up.

not scratching is not a question of personality, but of treatment and training.

"They remove the problem but they dont solve it." That is essentially the same goddamn thing. Removing or eliminating the problem IS the solution. I'm sure that you were trying to make some sort of point by attempting to utilize semantics, but you failed.

>>114010
Obvious troll is obvious.

Seriously, though, OP, there is nothing wrong with using softpaws. Personally, I like the way they look and cats don't mind them. However, the best remedy is still a scratching post and water gun. Just give her a squirt if she tries to claw anything besides her scratching post, and she will learn very quickly.

That's a great theory, but I'm perfectly prepared to keep using softpaws for the rest of her life (or the bunnies' lives, or until we move to a bigger place so the bunnies can have their own room). I don't think you get it - she will hurt the bunnies if left to her own devices. I would love to train her not to claw them, but I can't be there 24 hours a day. I have to leave her alone in the apartment with them for hours at a time while I'm at work; I tried the water squirt gun, scratching posts, etc, but I think they're just too much of a temptation for her to pass up when I'm not there.

If you don't like them, you don't have to use them on your cat, but don't tell me that I don't know what is best for my own goddamn animals. Are you going to pay the vet bills when the cat scratches my bunnies' eyes out? Thought not.

don't you have cages -- cages big enough so the cat can't reach the bunnies? then, get some ffs. if you don't have the money, you shouldn't keep so many pets.
or are your bunnies so retarded that they forget to seek cover? (from my exerience, bunnies are good at running away and even attack when cornered) then, well.... *shrug* not the cats fault. put a blanket or something over the cage.

and: cats don't use their claws for hunting, but for defence, climbing and playing = no real danger. however, a cat bite can be really dangerous for small animals. so, are do you using "softteeth" too........?
>> Anonymous
>>114227

My rabbits are just fine with their cage, thanks. I don't know what your problem is with my pets. They are all healthy and happy, despite the fact that you seem to be convinced otherwise. The rabbit cage, since you asked, is 4 feet by 3 feet - generous by anyone's standards. However, with the cat's reach, they are restricted to a tiny corner of it. If I were to drape a blanket over it, they would chew it and ingest the fibers, which I'm sure you know could kill them. I have more than enough money to keep my pets, thanks for asking. They have more than adequate food, vet care, cages, toys and affection. The cat doesn't mind the softpaws, and it solves a problem. If you've got such an issue with a total stranger's cat care choices, then maybe you need to take a break from the internet for a bit. I'd just like to point out that softpaws are, in fact, the humane alternative to declawing, which is a horribly inhumane surgery that should be illegal in the US already. Thanks for your concern, but you're wasting your time. Have a great afternoon!

it seems to me that softclaws cause cats to keep their claws further extended than they usually do.

Anyhow, I wouldn't bother.. instead, trim your cat's claws every 2-4 weeks as needed and teach them not to scratch your furniture. it's not difficult unless your cat is retarded.

Removing the problem IS NOT the same problem as solving it. Your hand hurts, going to a doctor and having him fix the problem is a clean cut.

Cutting your hand off is a crude hack, it works because your HAND does not hurt anymore. But in the end you have lost something, gained new problems and you never fixed the original problem.

The younger one I just got about a year and a half ago. He isn't declawed. I trim his claws and he has a scratching post. Never had a problem with him scratching anyone or anything.

On topic: None of my cats scratch things, none of them wear softpaws, and none are declawed. They have scratching posts and (most) are allowed outside. All it takes is a tiny bit of effort when they're little to keep them happy and harmless when they are adults. Though, when you introduce them to the scratching post, don't drag their paws across it. Many cats hate that. Just scratch it with your own nails and they should get the idea.

Here is a little experiment for those that are okay with declawing: shoot yourself in the head (with a bullet, not semen, faggots).

So much anger here.. Although it's always the same damn tired opinions. You can't use the freaking argument that the claws are apart of having a cat. If that's true, then why the hell do people spay/neuter them? Isn't that them being a cat too? If people are going to bitch about having a small joint removed that's not used for crap, how about you all start crying about cutting out their damned organs?

Alot of my friends have cats. You can't even play with the clawed ones without getting scratched.

By the way, cats do that squeezing motion because of instinct. It's what they did as they nursed from their mothers, not the by-product of declawing them. The only difference with clawed cats, is that they're ruining whatever it is they're digging at.

Both of my cats are declawed and are absolutely fine and happy. They don't hate my guts for it and plot my death, either.

Spaying and neutering has benefits besides the behavioral (AKA besides those that benefit the owner). Neutered cats live longer and don't contribute to overpopulation.

Chopping off the end of their toes, however, only benefits you and if they were ever to end up in a situation where they needed their claws they would be fucked.
>> Anonymous
Declawed cats are more likely to piss and shit all over your house. After being declawed, it's painful for them to dig into their litterbox and bury their shit, so they associate that pain with the litterbox and just crap all over the house instead.

But sure, get your cat declawed if you want to, I just don't really fancy the smell of cat shit.

I said it again and again: If you know how to treat a cat, they won't scratch. No bloody shreds or detached limbs.
I had cats my whole life, many of them, not all with "friendly personalities", but I could play with them, cuddle and annoy them. Of course you might get a small scratch once in a while (atm every 6 months or so), but ffs, that's the normal risk of life. I have more bruises from running into things than I ever had cat scratches.

People who use softpaws train their cats that they don't need to withdraw the claws when they play. Of course it will hurt later. They simply don't know that claws are not good.
Same for people who cut their cats claws. It's unnecessary. And in the long term counterproductive.

People who declaw their cats need to have their own fingertips removed. Because it's more convenient. Otherwise you could hurt your younger siblings. Or the sofa. CUT THEM OFF. I promise it won't hurt, and you will forget them soon!

It's worthless, and your opinions are baseless as well. Cats don't even use that joint, otherwise they couldn't function (as in the case of humans) as declawed.

No, declawed cats don't shit all over the house. All the declawed cats I've ever owned have never had problems using the litterbox. Naturally I do believe that outdoor cats shouldn't be declawed, but it saves alot of trouble to have indoor ones done.

I've lived with declawed cats. The excellent way yours are behaving may be a sign of having a great owner who knows how to train his cats. If declawing is done properly (sedation, great aftercare, great owners), it can have very little adverse effect on cats (besides the mutilation), but in a great many cases, it shouldn't be an option.

>>115024
A lot of slutty people were abused as children. Trauma manifests in different ways. In yours case, perhaps being declawed and separated from her family made her overly affectionate, willing to do whatever it takes to make you not hurt her. It isn't exactly a bad thing.. but it does not show declawing is a safe or humane practice.

If you had two kittens from one litter who grew up together, except one was declawed, then it would be a fair comparison. Anyone been in this situation?

Apple headed Chihuahuas. Holy crap, I've played with one of these deformed fetus-dogs before.

Its eyes pointed in different directions, and its tongue was grotesquely long, longer by all rights than was able to fit in the thing's mouth, so it swung about out the side of the dog's mouth. That such a truly malformed being was intentionally created through the foul art of selective breeding was disturbing enough, but the fact that the owner of such a creature found it cute was doubly so.

In my experience they were a pain to get on the cat. Once they were on, though, they did exactly what they said they would and didn't come off when they weren't supposed to. Still, I eventually just opted to train my cats to a scratching post and clip their nails regularly instead of fussing with the softpaws (which I thought would be an easier alternative).

My cat is about 14 years old. Many years ago my mother had her declawed, and with me being a minor at the time I had no real say in the matter. She is an inside cat, so defending herself isn't an issue. She still uses the litter box, but she never buries it, though she never buried anything even when she had her claws, just clawed at the plastic on the litter box. Her personality is the same before and after the operation. She still kneads things every now and then, and has no trouble walking or doing anything else. Despite her having no noticeable problems from it, I still feel bad about it when I touch her paws. I should have protested more at the time, and now that I know about the bone removal part, it makes me feel even worse about it.

I've always felt that you should exhaust all other options before resorting to something as invasive as surgery, but considering all the cats I've known, both without and without claws, I wouldn't consider declawing horribly inhumane. All the declawed cats I've known are not any different from their clawed brethren, not, of course, counting their own little personality quirks. They use the litter box normally, they run and jump and play like other cats, and I've never heard of a cat becoming suddenly aggressive or spastic as a direct a result being declawed. Has the negative happened? I'm sure it has, but odds are the cat was either declawed poorly, not given the proper care during recovery, or both.

Should it be your first option? No. Is it an option in some situations? Of course. Are you going to go to hell for it? Probably not.

Declawing should definitely be a last resort, but it's not as horrible as a lot of people make it out to be.

If you're not supposed to play with cats, what the hell is the point in having one? What's the point of having a dog even? If you weren't meant to 'play' with cats because they're 'animals' then evolution shouldn't have made them so soft and cute.

Saying you can't play with animals pretty much defeats the purpose of any pet.
