I have used soft paws on Giz and Samantha.. The trick is in getting them on and keeping them on. Giz hated them and would immediately work on trying to get them off and she always managed to get several of them off. Samantha didn't like them either but she wasn't as obsessive at getting them off as Giz was. Once they get a whiff of that glue, they are gone like bullets! I finally just gave up..
