Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shadowcat. Have you tried a product known as Soft Paws? They are soft caps that can be glued onto the nails. If you are unable to apply them at home, your veterinarian will be able to do so for you. I think it would definitely be worth a try! Good luck.

I recommend trying Soft Paws. They are nail caps that you glue onto your cat's claws, and it prevent damage to the furniture when they try to scratch. You can order them online, and you may be able to find them in a pet store. I hope this helps!

No, dogs cannot be declawed - they are much larger and heavier than cats, and the anatomy of their paws is different. She can get Soft Paws or another type of nail cover to help prevent scratching things when Athena jumps - their website is www.softpaws.com

One option may be to use an oral sedative from your veterinarian. Ask the vet about Acepromazine or Trazodone. Working on some positive association may also help. You may need both the association and a sedative. Begin by having a high value treat. Start toughing his feet and reward him as soon as you touch his toe nails. Do this for a few days. Once Sparks seems comfortable with this behavior, show him the clippers. Rewards him every time he looks at the clippers. Gradually move the clippers closer to him until they touch his nail. Give him treats frequently. Then cut one nail, reward him immediately and stop the trimming for that session. Work up to multiple nails. Be patient and don't stress him or get injured. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Crazy glue/Super glue will work. Trim your cat's claws, poke the end of the glue tip into the nail cap, then push it onto your cat's claw as far as it will comfortably go. You may end up glued to a nail cap, your cat's fur or yourself, but that's not unusual, for me at least. ;-) Good luck!
