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!

I'm glad to hear that the nail caps work well for your cat's front feet! Most cats are far more tolerant of having their front feet handled than their back feet. Since Your cat is unable to retract his toe, I do think it's worth trying to remove the glue. Walking in with his toe in an abnormal position could cause him to inadvertently injure himself. Most of these caps use some form of a super glue for attachment. If your cat will tolerate it without causing you any bodily harm, try to soak the affected area in either vegetable oil or mineral oil for a few minutes, then try to gently scrape away at the glue closest to his nail base. It's not a big deal if some of the glue remains on his nails - it will wear off eventually. You may want to try wrapping your cat's body tightly in a large towel with the foot in question left out of the wrapping. We all this a "kitty burrito" and it's often helpful for a bit of restraint. I hope this helps and that everything goes well!

You cannot give the cat that medication. Most vets office can trim nails with out doing anything and may have a carrier for you. Depending on your area, there may be a mobile vet or groomer than can come to you to do this for you. I would start with contacting a vet's office or local groomer and they can assist you or provide you with someone in town that can if needed.

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.

Yes, they are safe, indeed. You may not even need those if you provide your cat with a cat scratch box and/or a scratching tree and keep her front claws clipped. This helps her get rid of the old nail shells as the nails grow and she will not have the urge to remove them on the furniture. Your vet can show you how to cut the tips of the nails (nail clippers for people work best.).
