We just got a new cat, and the wife and I decided that we would rather trim it's claws than declaw it. After hearing all the hoopla on TV and internet about Pedi Paws, I decided to invest in it thinking, this makes perfect sense grind away the claw as opposed to simply shearing it. After trying it out on my new cat, Rice, Rice decided that it was a scary product. I would imagine the grinding on it's paws felt really scary to the little fella. To let us know it was scary, he decided to claw me up good. I even took the tips from the website about holding the animal down, but he simply attacked my right pinkie finger and took off half a nail. I don't blame the cat because it's obviously frightened. However, Pedi Paws did teach the importance of trimming the cat's claws. Those things are sharp.
I returned the product and simply got a regular pair of shearer for about half the cost, and though Rice bemoaned through constant mewing the loss of his ten little weapons, he didn't struggle at all.
This product might work well for dogs, but God have mercy on your soft pink flesh if you try to use it on a cat.
