Soft Paws are little, um, claw sheaths for your kitty's paws. I haven't used them on Tatsuko, because she likes (needs to, really) climb her tall pole in the stairwell, and I'm afraid she'd freak out at not being able to dig in with her claws. But most cats would be fine with it: No reason to ever declaw a cat again (which I feel is inhumane, removing their last digit).
