I have 3 cats, declawed front paws...would this puncture easily if they walk on it?

They still have claws on the back and they have teeth. If it were me, I would not let them walk on it.

Are you aware of how awfully painful is for cats to be declawed? Besides that if they go outside, they are defendless. It is more humane to trim their nails as needed

I seriously doubt it. Between the thickness of the pad and the fact it is under your pillowcase, I can't see this as a problem at all.

Maybe, but I don't own a cat. Trimming the claws on a cat seems dangerous to me! LOL!

I wrapped my cat up firmly in a towel and had my daughter hold her. I wrapped under her shoulders and the rest of her to do the front paws then I wrapped under her neck down to her bottom feet to do her hind paws. I did this over a course of two days because she was getting too squirmy. That is what my vet recommended, it keeps the cat safe and calm for the most part. I was able to do one paw at each sitting. Hope this helps. Good luck

I honestly would not do it on a cat . I attempted this on my dogs paw as directed and he yelped quite a bit. Plus I didn't get enough blood out for the test. I am a nurse btw. I just think you should just let the vet do it. I say this because you have to handle your pet every day , do their nails etc. You wouldn't want them fearful of you handling their paws, especially the cat.

I should have mentioned that it was my vet that recommended that I use it post declawing as it would be more hygienic for my cat. The small particles and dust from the other litter options could get trapped it the newly healing wound and irritate their paws. As my kitty became used to it from the declawing and u liked it so much.....I am using it as my daily litter for the past 4 years!

You are correct about the glue and the cat's fur. We had our vet put on the claws for our cat. We did not want to mess it up and make it uncomfortable for our cat. Our cat's claws stayed on for a while and they became a little uncomfortable for her. We ended up having the vet take them off. Good luck.hope this helps.

If the 7 year old cat gets his/her claws clipped regularly, the additional handling of the paws shouldn't be too traumatic. I started my cat on them from a kitten and while she isn't happy with it, it's like taking medicine: it's something we have to go through.

Yes, just by stepping on it, which is why I couldn't use mine for awhile till my cat got adopted. Of course I would imagine once it went off and scared them they would stay away from it...but you know how cats are

There is really no easy way to get them off. I soaked my cats paws in warm water for about 5 minutes and then pried them loose using a nail file and nail clipers. Or you can clip the ends off and your cat will get them loose when they scratch. It just depends on how much your cat will put up with.

Our cat is de-clawed on the front paws. I believe the mesh is strong enough. Our cat has learned to open the zipper with his teeth however,

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

Here is my best gues is that it's probably ok . It has a grate in he front that is probably tool small for a cat to out rheir paws into . I like the product. My best guess is go for it

I'm not sure how to answer that question. My cats are declawed and they don't do anything to the netting. The netting is really thick and sturdy .it's not flimsy. seems like a question to ask the company... I think you can contact them from their website. I love this carrier so much... it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Can't say enough good things about it.

Unless your cats have claws like daggers, I don't think it will be easy for your cat to puncture the mattress. However if he uses it like a scratching post then all bets are off.

The nails stay on about a month. You'll see a couple come off and that's maybe cuz your cat chews on them. I stopped using soft claws because my cat didn't like them and I felt bad. Invest on a large cat scratching post. My cat loves it. Sits on it all day long. And it's the only thing she goes after to scratch.

Yes, absolutely. My cat was nine pounds with her claws and there was no problems at all. This thing is genius.

Maybe a kitten's paw could slide in there but I doubt it could do any damage because the slots are too narrow. But a full grown cat wouldn't be able to slip a paw in there.
