I really just went by the advice on the package when I bought the Cat Caps. However, as in my review, I will not put these on my cat again. After she had them on for about 10 days she got one of them caught in the loop of a rug while playing and woke me in the middle of the night screaming and crying trying to get it out. As the nail grows the caps grow out as well leaving a lip at the back of the cap. The loop of the rug got caught on the lip of the nail cap. I had to cut the loop of the rug to get her loose. This happened 3 times in about a month period that it took for all the caps to fall off. I threw away the cat caps and will not buy them again!!!!

Probably small. My cat is 7.1 lbs but she could pull some of the tips off. So I kept replacing them. I finally just took her to vet. Maybe your cat isn't a sweet and sour spoild cat like mine. Good luck.

If she's only 7 lbs., then she must be small. The small size actually has different size claw caps. I used the smallest ones on my 6 lb. kitten.

From my experience, I would recommend a size medium. That's about the same size as my cat and a small did not fit so I ordered medium and it worked much better. The small didn't even go on.

When I bought this they were kittens, both are now approx. 7 pounds and stretch fine. they still play on it even though their body's hang over the side when they lay on and in the tunnel.. Our 17lb cat claws just fine on it...doesn't quite get the full stretch but uses it. I love ours... Hope this helps.

Mine is a frew years old now and is 4" measuring it across. Measuring the circumference its about 13". My cat just loves this perch and it is in front of a big window. The only thing is the surface where the cat lays at the top got too matted so I ripped it off and carefully removed all staples or sharp edges. Then I buy a small piece of thick carpeting remnant in beige and cut it around to fit in the spot. You dont even need any glue, nails etc if you make it a little bigger and it squeezes in nicely. this way you can rid of the old smelly part where the cat lays on. my cat has taken to clawing at the post and shredding the sisel. also she claws around the top edge...:( hope this helps

I have both the small and medium. The medium I have at the end of its extensions for my bigger cat which weighs around 13-14 pounds. If there is any chance of growth you may want to go bigger and just tighten it down.

I'm going to go with no... not for long, anyway. My cat's maybe ten pounds and she fits fairly well, but I tried to put her and her sister in it once and they jammed their heads into the top of it and glared until I let them back out. For a quick vet trip, yeah you probably COULD, but I wouldn't on anything longer than that.

I got a small. It fit perfectly. My cat is about 10 pounds and no matter what she wasn't able to get it off. However I give her a lot of credit for trying.

Yes, the small size will fit your 7 week old kitty. FYI - I don't even use the skinny applicators designed to put the glue into the soft paw. I just do it by hand, drop one dot of glue into the interior. You may need to wrap her in a blanket with one paw out. She needs to get use to it, then it just becomes manicure time. I just recently went from small to medium with my now one year old kitty.

Actually, I just made my decision just by intuition, since I think my cat is a medium size, I just ordered a medium size of claws. And it was fine.

I would buy midium size soft claws if your cat is mid to large size which is my cat but for a small size cat I would buy small size soft claws.

It might be a tight fit, my tiny 8lb cat fits great, but it took my 14lb cat longer to get used to. She has a bit of room and can turn around in it, but I think she would be unhappy if she gained more than a few pounds, lol.

I purchased a Small, which worked well for my 8 lb kitty at its most snug adjustment. The Velcro closure could accomodate a slightly larger cat/neck size, but probably not a 22 lb one. Try a larger size. A Medium might work since large cats don't have huge necks...just large bodies.

On the Soft Claws website they have a size chart. Kitten fits those less than 6 months old, small 6-8 ibs, medium 9-13 ibs, large 14 ibs up.

The one I have is a size 2 , I tryed it on my 10.5 # cat! fit just fine! he wasn't thrilled.

Make sure you get the right one. Do the one that is 10-20lbs. My cat is only around 7lbs and that's the one we got her for to walk around in. it's huge for her. though it's perfect enough for her to stand up in and walk around

For any cat and for small dogs I would use the extra small size. My cat is 13 pounds and the small was way too big ... The extra small was just right for him ... For larger dogs, I don't know what to say!

I have a medium, which fits my slim 10 lb cat nicely, and my slightly chubby 15 lb cat poorly, but adequately. She's got a large frame, where if yours is chubby at 10 lb, I'm guessing she's got a tiny frame. The large is probably your better bet, but I think the medium might work.

Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems. I think it's more a matter of length than weight with this set up. The little paw platform is a bit on the small side since it doesn't have any borders but the cubby and the bed would fit a larger cat easily. One suggestion with a larger cat tho would be to go with a different configuration than is shown. I noticed that a few other folks did this and I followed suit. It just seems the with the bed at the top it's really tall and being a narrow set up would be more inclined to be thrown off by too much activity. Sorry for the long response, just wanted to be thorough. Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems.
