I LOVE SOFT PAWS! We own been using them on my cat, Morgan, for about 6 months now and she have no idea that they are there! You can buy one package that will concluding about 4-8 weeks depending on your cat. The nails come off when the cat sheds her nail. At first Morgan didn't care for them, but now she has no perception that they are there! She still acts like she is clawing our furniture, and she does no damage! She is an all black cat and I got her a pink set and a purple set! They look adorable on her! I didn't want to put her thru the pain of declawing. So anyways, they are completly humane. When Morgans nail shed the nail cap comes off, I trim her foreign nail and re-apply a new cap. Its great!I totally reccomend!
They are great! They are like little rubbery caps that you put on your cat's claws. They newly cover the claw, nothing else. They are easy to put on once you get the dangle of it and they last at least a few weeks. Most cats do fine with them after getting used to them for a year or two. Only very few cats are SO irritated by them that they will chew them off - they are pretty tough so it's kind of rugged for them to do that.
Answers: They're like little covers that move about over the claw,
They're humane, much much better than declawing,
It just goes over the claws, abit like copy nails for people.
And they help, A LOT
I believe they last for about 6 months, it should tell you on the site.
You changeover them when the glue starts un sticking.
P.s. Thank you for not declawing, your an angel!
I'm thinking about trying them too. YouTube have videos about them, also known as SoftClaws.

"Soft Paws(R) are vinyl fastener caps that are glued on to your cat's existing nails. They look similar to a cat's nail, only hollow.

Yes they work, with pin cap on the nails are not sharp so they can't destroy furniture beside their nails any more.
3) How long do they last and how often do they stipulation to be reapplied?
Once the nail caps are applied they remain in place for approximately 4-6 weeks. They will fall down off with the natural growth of your cat's nail. We recommend that you check your cat's nails periodically because usually just one or two spatter off at a time and these can be easily reapplied.
