Japanese Company Softclaws has started to market colored nail caps for Cats.
Sounds crazy at first, but then sounds still better than the nasty nail pulling that is still done to Cats to protect the oh so valueable furniture.
Soft Claws are attached to a cat's claws by putting a small amount of adhesive inside the caps and sliding them over the claw. I still would not do that to my Cat.
The Soft Claws come in 5 colors including very the natural looking pink and blue - Your Cat will just love it. The caps fall off with the natural growth of a cat's claws every 4-6 weeks.
More details at SoftClaws and Nikkei Net.

Each of 'em are extremely happy and know no evil. None! Sometimes I wish the world we live in was like the world they live in--they have so much fun!!! |

Day 183 of my captivity.
My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I
get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they
were walking almost succeeded. Maybe I should try this at the top of the
stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again
induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. I must try this on their
bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make
them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little kitty cat
I was. This is not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise
and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due
to my powers of inducing something called "allergies." Must learn what this
is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a
half-wit.
The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He speaks with them
regularly, and I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current
placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait.
