If my cat absolutely hates having them on, is there a way to take them off once they are applied? Or do you have to wait the 4-6 weeks?

You can carefully peel them off but it's a pain and you run the risk of injuring the cat.

In my opinion you would probably not have to wait 4-6 weeks but if applied correctly they will not be easy to take off once newly applied. If your cat hates having them on they will be very persistent about grooming them and trying to bite them off and probably successfully too! My cat didn't like them the first time I applied them so he just kept on them until he got them off but I kept reapplying them until he just gave up and started leaving them alone, they are non-invasive and are not hurting them so don't be scared about that. I hope this helps.

If he/she absolutely hates them, your kitty will probably remove them without your assistance. It will take some time (that is a couple of days) but he will work them off. My cat usually gets one or two off but I just put new ones on (grandma's house rules).I overdid the glue on one cap one time and had the vet trim it off about eight weeks in. I made no attempt to get it off on my own.

There is really no easy way to get them off. I soaked my cats paws in warm water for about 5 minutes and then pried them loose using a nail file and nail clipers. Or you can clip the ends off and your cat will get them loose when they scratch. It just depends on how much your cat will put up with.

I think it probably depends on your cat some and how well they tolerate them. My cat couldn't care less they're on and they last 3+ weeks. The first time you put them on is annoying but once you get through that they usually come off one at a time so only have to replace one rather than do all of them all over again. I find myself replacing one a week maybe. I love them.

I don't know if they will or not. I just don't let my cat in that room anymore.As it is it takes several treatments to kill the smell. :-(

How long do they last and how often do they need to be reapplied?Once the nail caps are applied they remain in place for approximately 4-6 weeks. They will fall off with the natural growth of your pets nails. We recommend that you check your pet's nails periodically because usually just one or two fall off at a time and these can be easily reapplied.Each kit contains 40 nail caps, adhesive and applicator tips and last approximately 4-6 months per cat.Note: While the vast majority of cats acclimate to the claw covers within minutes, some cats may require an adjustment period or may not work with your pet.

Before or after the cat ?. I personally wouldn't use them if the cat had already "used" them , but if they are dry they would probably work OK.

I think about one month - one and one-half months. My cat goes a lot. They are great. NO SMELL!!!

Its a little hard to get them on and off but it can be done. I have two cat so the extra sticky does a good job of getting the cat fur.

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!!!!

I am not a vet, but from what I can tell the cats claws aren't truly extended. My cats have been wearing these for several months now, and they don't seem to cause any harm. The cats do try to pull at the covers for the first hour or so after the initial application, but then they forget about them. They run, play, climb, and claw at their scratching posts the same way as without the covers. I think that the claw may grow out a bit, allowing the claw to retract in, fairly rapidly. On my cats, the soft claw covers only the first 2/3 of the claw even when they are freshly applied.

I have only used on my standard poodle. Color lasts for 4 weeks before touch-up. I have no experience with cats.

Faux fur, you can also reuse them by getting a container of catnip and dipping them back in once they are catnip free. They are a bit small in contrast to some other ones, but I have a 17lb cat and he just loves them and no problems with pieces coming off at all. I would buy these again for sure.

Honestly, if you can get them to stay on that long, kudos! Our chewed them off that day.but yes, they will grow out with the nails and fall off. But like I said, they dont stay on. Our cat also chews just the tip off, leaving them completely worthless

get some lense cleaner and a soft cloth, spray the cloth lightly, rub softly. Get a mask for the cat, available at Amazon.com:-)

It's easy for me. My cat is used to me putting them on him. He sits there quietly, calmly and lets me put them on him. I just sit him on the sink in the restroom and put them on.

I put them on all her front claws about 2 months ago and have had to replace 4 so far, they sporadically fall off while the nail grows and she tries to scratch. You just replace them as they come off. So far I would say they last about a month depending on your cats needing/scratching habits

a few days. If you have cats make sure they have on flea meds let them run threw the house and any strays will jump on the and die. I use advantage for cats front line for my dogs. they all does in less than a week. I also put seven dust in my vacuum cleaner just to be sure he he

This spray does nothing to deter my cat from getting on things. It does keep her from scratching where I've sprayed it but that effect wears off after ~3 days and I have to respray.
