Okay, I'm totally frustrated. I'm moving into my mother's house and she does not want the cats to claw her furniture. She told me either find a solution to their clawing or they've got to go! So, I was browsing the internet one day, seriously thinking about declawing both of them and I found this awesome alternative to declawing: soft paws! They're so excellent. I had NO problem getting them on my cat Ray; however, my younger cat, Oscar, is giving me hell about putting them on. I've got 1 paw done and 1 more to go. I canNOT get them on this other paw...he tries to claw me w/ his back feet and his only uncovered front foot and he even tries to bite me. He's horrible. I'm at my wits end. So...I'm looking for any suggestions...this needs to be done fast. I'm moving this Saturday the 26th. I was thinking of some type of sedative...but, I don't know anything about things like that. My friend suggested benadryl, but I've been told NEVER to give your cat benadryl. So...if anyone knows of any other options please help me. ARGH!
