hi. the softpaws wouldn't come off, so i clipped the top and peeled them off. it did not bother angus at all. i was very careful and it took about ten minutes. the adhesive was dry and crackly, but for some reason they wouldn't pop off easily. i had to get them off b/c the nails were getting too long and he was getting them caught in rugs and blankets. and, i clipped off the tip a few days, and a bit of nail was exposed. he didn't give me any fuss when i clipped the softpaws and his nails. i filled the new softpaws with glue and set up a nice little system on my bed. i wrapped him tight and began to slide them on. i got the first paw done and noticed that one fell off before i even released him. i held him for five minutes and let him go. he chewed his toes and then five came off. i replaced a few. they came off. i didn't want to stress him, so i let him be. he bit at his feet for a few hours!! it made me so sad. i tried to redirect his behavior by grooming him and playing with him, but he wasn't interested. and he didn't want to sleep on the bed with me he finally jumped on me and seemed more content i know it's weird, but i thought he was mad at me. lol
any tips? I'd like to try again tonight, but i'd prefer to be a quicker process. i'm not terribly worried about the scratching, but i live in a complex that requires declawing. i refuse and they aren't pressing it, but i have to cover my butt!!
ps- softpaws are a VERY good product that i highly recommend, i'm just having difficulty with the application process.
