Will the small caps fit on a 7 week old kitten? She has tiny claws and I was wondering exactly how big these caps are

me again...see just below.... I started using them when she was around 4 months. I groom her nails just before I apply but you must be certain to not cut the quick, this could cause an infection by applying on top of a cut quick (pink exposed skin in nail)

Yes, the small size will fit your 7 week old kitty. FYI - I don't even use the skinny applicators designed to put the glue into the soft paw. I just do it by hand, drop one dot of glue into the interior. You may need to wrap her in a blanket with one paw out. She needs to get use to it, then it just becomes manicure time. I just recently went from small to medium with my now one year old kitty.

Yes they will, however let me warn you: I would wait until she is a bit older to use these caps, maybe 6 months or so... When my cat was a kitten, she got her nails caught because of the caps, in many places and it would break her nail. Keep that in mind, I'm sure it is painful. However, at 6 months, they worked great...But, please don't de-claw your cats, its just cruel :) Hope this helps!

7 weeks is much too young. Soft Paws recommends 4 months, or some kittens can do okay at 3 months. At 7 weeks, you could use people clippers to clip off the really sharp ends.

We have two cats weighing 10 & 12 lbs each.They have always taken "medium" Soft Claws.We have had them put on by the veterinarian before, and they also recommend size "medium" for our cats.

I'm pretty sure it would be okay against kitten claws. I used this with my yorkie when she was a tiny baby almost 3 years ago. She has accidents in this a few times and it was very easy to clean the bottom as it's mad of a plastic cloth material. I just got a kitten my self last Sunday (she's 9 weeks old today.) I ordered the plastic play pen. It's a little more expensive $40 and you also have to buy the top piece to it if you're kitten is already climbing. The top is another $19-20. I'll let you know if I like that one better than this one.

How large or small is your cat? My cat is a little over 1 year old and is a 8 pound Russian Blue. The size of these clippers was fine for her.

How long do they last and how often do they need to be reapplied? Once the nail caps are applied they remain in place for approximately 4-6 weeks. They will fall off with the natural growth of your pets nails. We recommend that you check your pet's nails periodically because usually just one or two fall off at a time and these can be easily reapplied. Each kit contains 40 nail caps, adhesive and applicator tips and last approximately 4-6 months per cat. Note: While the vast majority of cats acclimate to the claw covers within minutes, some cats may require an adjustment period or may not work with your pet.

One of my cats bit most of them off. I think these are great for cats purely on a case by case basis. I think some cats are neurotic and won't allow their precious nails to be suffocated. . Others don't notice. But who knows? Maybe after a while of using the caps your cat will adjust to them and they will stop caring.

Probably small. My cat is 7.1 lbs but she could pull some of the tips off. So I kept replacing them. I finally just took her to vet. Maybe your cat isn't a sweet and sour spoild cat like mine. Good luck.

I would buy midium size soft claws if your cat is mid to large size which is my cat but for a small size cat I would buy small size soft claws.

Yes indeed. I put them on my kitten's cans of food. These are designed to fit all sizes.

These caps look like a standard "00" size. Just over 2 cm long.http://www.capsuleconnection.com/capsules

Probably better than my 2 year old. But they just don't stay on (in my experience.) If you can get them on your cat and get them to STAY on, let me know!

my cats have never tried to chew on them. A good fit is a must..if you adjust the collar to where you can slip one finger under it, it should be ok. I always end up cutting some off for a better fit. You don't want it loose. I have not used on a kitten however.

no, sorry they are too small for a small dog. they wouldn't even fit a small cat!

I believe New Era makes these caps in Toddler sizes, but I don't see anyone on Amazon listing them. Unfortunately, the smallest size I've seen them recently produce for the adult sizes is 6 7/8.

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

I really just went by the advice on the package when I bought the Cat Caps. However, as in my review, I will not put these on my cat again. After she had them on for about 10 days she got one of them caught in the loop of a rug while playing and woke me in the middle of the night screaming and crying trying to get it out. As the nail grows the caps grow out as well leaving a lip at the back of the cap. The loop of the rug got caught on the lip of the nail cap. I had to cut the loop of the rug to get her loose. This happened 3 times in about a month period that it took for all the caps to fall off. I threw away the cat caps and will not buy them again!!!!

Our cat can't, she's full grown. They aren't very wide slots. The only way is maybe a tiny kitten
