Are they water resistant? My kitten scratches me most when I bathe him. If I can cover his nails during his shower time, that would be so wonderful

It depends on the cat. Yes they are but I use super glue instead of the glue that comes with them. I have one cat that wears them for two weeks or more and one that can have them off in two days.

I guess they would be, they are basically super glued to the cats nails and come off after the nails shed. But cats clean themselves so I am not sure why you are bathing him so often that you would need these. Good luck!

Yes they are, they are basically little nail covers, you fill them with super glue and slide them onto the nail, there is no way for water to get in.

I adopted a shelter cat, and which was 7 years old. I have had him 3 years and have just been able to lightly touch her feet. (she not declawed) He also bit for first year or two. So I will not judge a person for not trying the nail clipping on a old cat like mine. The vet is answer. I also have 4-5 scratchers around the house, which he tears up on regular basis. My cat is a 25 lb main coon. He gets what he wants...lol

I personally think that this is great for kittens because they are always on the move and this is something they can run and jump on. About claw covers< I dont know anything about that. What I do know is that if your cat likes to scratch, you need more than one scratching post. I have several all around my space.

I don't know for certain but from my experience I have worn them in the shower and continued to wear them for hours afterwards, as they dry quickly. They really are long lasting. But I did try to swim in the pool with them once when I forgot to remove them and they came off in the water. So for me, it seems as though getting them wet is not so much a problem but immersing them fully in water for awhile will loosen them off the skin.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

One of my cats bit most of them off. I think these are great for cats purely on a case by case basis. I think some cats are neurotic and won't allow their precious nails to be suffocated. . Others don't notice. But who knows? Maybe after a while of using the caps your cat will adjust to them and they will stop caring.

I wash them on delicate cycle with small amount of detergent. I air dry also when the sun shines. I also purchase these for stray cats to put in my homemade cat houses for them especially in the winter. My cats at home and the strays love these. Unfortunately though if they get too frisky with the pads with their claws, they do destroy them easily. But you cannot beat the price. Thanks for asking and enjoy your Purr Padds!!!Ruby :)

They are waterproof up to a point. My dogs are outside only dogs so they get pretty wet and the collars work fine. I would imagine if they swim a lot that the chemicals in the pool water might impact the effectiveness not to mention being submersed for any length of time.

"mildew-resistant" -yes- as opposed to "mildew-proof"-no.... But we have an unusual situation. We have an old house with a window over the tub, designed well before showers were installed in homes. Now of course we have a shower with the tub. The window needs to be covered, the covering will get wet, but the curtains do provide privacy and do protect the wooden window frame. Our area is also very humid. The inexpensive price allows me to replace these as needed. These curtains are a tough product to find these days, and I'm grateful they exist.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

Wearing them too tight? I purchased this replacement for the color. All of my bands have yet to break and I've had my Fitbit over a year +. I don't shower with mine and only get it wet to clean it. Being that's it rubbery, I doubt water plays a part, however.

They are very sticky. Just as long as there not in the shower, you should be ok.

Absolutely not! scratching is "their thing". Cats scratch when they are happy. It's in their genes. It's natural. One of my rescue cats is declawed and he still scratches on the post.

This would work great for kittens! Get a kitten started on a scratching post like this early and hopefully you could save the time and expense of the claw covers.

Ours did the same thing. I started using my perch in incriminates of two hours because of the same concern. I also worry that it gets too hot, and there is no way to cover it safely. So my suggestion is use it sparingly, keep a close eye on your baby, they are too precious to take chances on their well being. Also, check talons if possible to see if heat has affected their toes, this also will let you know if it's harming him

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.
