When I started using soft paws, I was very nervous about it, so the vet put them on for me & showed me how to apply them.
If you want to try using soft paws, try calling around to vets & groomers in your area to find one who will apply the softpaws while you watch. After the cats are trained, you should be able to eventually stop using the soft paws & just trim their claws to blunt them.

also details lots of ways to keep indoor cats entertained - providing them with lots of alternative scratching areas as well as with ways to entertain themselves may help reduce tension.
Did you ever try the Feliway Comfort Zone plug-in to help calm them? That might help, if you haven't tried it. It's available for a reasonable price at www.healthypets.com.
