I used SoftPaws on my indoor cat. The softpaws work great and the cat doesn't mind them at all. I have the vet put them on all at one time and it's easy for me to replace one if it comes off. The first few weeks the cat will pull a few off but then gets tired of doing that. They can still scratch but do no harm to furniture or people. Perfect if you have a young child who wants to play with the cat. I would never get a cat declawed. It's very tramatic and is cruel. My vet won't declaw. Most of the younger vets won't declaw a cat now. My vet said the ones that do, do it for the money.
