We are trying to keep nail caps on our ~6 mo old kittens because we can't afford for them to damage our furniture/clothes/house/friends. We're looking for some tool to make that easier. We've tried the towel wrap trick with limited success, and haven't successfully gotten all 18 caps on either of them yet.

Does one of these make it easier? And what do these slings attach to? Some sort of stand?

Can't you just keep their claws clipped?

We keep their nails trimmed but it is not really as effective as the caps. Without the caps they can still easily hook their claws in rugs and certain fabrics.

It probably feels bad for the cat to have the caps on.

It’s literally recommended by the OP?

The cat urine smell emanating from the litter box has been getting progressively worse since adopting two kittens six months ago. Everyone I talked to before adopting them said I wouldn’t have a problem with any smell if I scooped litter every day. Well I’ve been scooping twice a day, completely changing the litter and hosing down the box once a week, and the smell now overwhelms the entire basement and is beginning to become detectable on the first floor of the house. Everyone I know who has cats has a home that smells like varying degrees of urine, but I always assumed they were just lazy with the scooping, but after pressing them about their own homes, half admit that they can smell their own cats litter boxes it and half insist they can’t. Am I doing something wrong, or is the smell just part of owning cats?

If your cats are actually using the litterbox 100% of the time and the problem is the litter, you might try this litter:



I switched to it and (in a litter robot anyways) there's absolutely no smell. This is just with one big baby though not a bunch of little ones.

Does it have fragrance? The last arm and hammer product I bought had so much fragrance, it made things twice as bad, it just made things smell like perfume fragranced poop. I’m using this stuff https://www.drelseys.com/products/ultra-litter/
