Soft Claws/Soft Paws – experience? Vet’s opinion?

I’m thinking about trying Soft Claws on my cat as I’m getting a new leather couch. I’m dubious though – does anyone have any experience? I’d like a vet’s opinion if poss or any other feline expert! I’d rather have my sofa scratched than compromise my cat’s wellbeing!! Please – no one suggest de-clawing as I wouldn’t even consider it. I’m going to talk to my vet tomorow when I take my guinea pigs to get their nails trimmed, just wanted to know what others thought. Thanks in advance.

Just to add, my cat doesn’t purposefully scratch the sofas (thank goodness) they just get marked and scratched when she jumps up and down. She has a ceiling high scratching post/activity centre! Also, would they affect her ability to climb said scratching post? Thanks
Ooh, also; she’s an indoor only cat at all times. Thanks for the answers so far – keep them coming!

I have used them on my cats for 2 years now. They work very well, they stayed well away from the couches and they were somewhat easy for me to put on my cats. [this will probably vary from cat to cat, some probably won't like having them put on] But after they are on, its like the cat hardly notices them.
I never put them on my cats back feet, however. My cats are indoor-only cats, and if they do get outside, I would still want them to still have a way to protect themselves.
My cats have never used their back claws on the couches, but I have seen cats grab on with the front paws, and scratch the couch, while laying on their side.

I guess it depends on how comfortable you are with putting them on their back feet. But I wouldn’t, in fear of them getting outside, and not being about to defend themselves.

In my opinion, just as a cat owner, they are a wonderful product. My cats and I are all much happier from using them. =]
