How do you get the applicator tip to stay on? The hardest part isn't even holding the cat, it's getting the tip to stay on!

I just used the glue that came with them, like superglue. Just a medium dot in each tip. I did not have a problem, she did chew at first but quite pretty quickly when squirted with the squirt bottle. :-)

True. I just pinched the applicator tip with my index and middle finger and squeezed the glue out with my thumb and other fingers. It doesn't stay on well but you just learn to improvise.

The glue was crappy and the nail didnt stay on. These were a waste of money if you ask me

I find I don't need to use the applicator tip. I just put a drop of glue in the soft claw, squish it around a little, then slip those suckers on while the kitty is napping. I usually do two or three at a time, and then pet and distract him (if he even wakes up) until they are dry.

I quit using the applicator tip. you can put the glue into the claw tip without the applicator. I quit using it because I was wasting to much of the glue. good luck.

If you push a litter harder on the applicator tip it should make a clicking noise. I haven't had any issues with it staying on if I push it down far enough.

It does work, you just have to push really hard until you hear a click and it locks down.

You Pull It Off. Just Use A Bit Of Force.. Though It'll Come Right Of. Just Be Cautious To Not Loose Your Bottle On The Floor In The Process... Had That Happen Once To Me :-[

My cat did get her nails stuck in the mesh a couple times. After two or three times getting stuck (and being able to release herself) she learned not to scratch it anymore. I would recommend putting a towel or something for her/him to claw at instead of the mesh, once they learn better.

Just push the cap onto the tip. That's it. Are you sure you didn't break the tip?

The nails stay on about a month. You'll see a couple come off and that's maybe cuz your cat chews on them. I stopped using soft claws because my cat didn't like them and I felt bad. Invest on a large cat scratching post. My cat loves it. Sits on it all day long. And it's the only thing she goes after to scratch.

The tip is removable. Maybe uses standard tips. Try calling the manufacturer.

The tip twists off. Sometimes it's on there really tight, so use pliers to twist it off to save your fingers. The applicator tip then twists right on. Keep the original tip for storage.

I cut the top of the tip off just enough to release the gel I then applied just a drop were I saw the ants running it only requires a small drop my ants were going into the light switch and plug outlets place a small drop where you think they are coming from it is very stickie so try not to touch it took just two applications to solve the ant problem that was about 6 months ago ikeep my fingers crossed hopelully they wont come back after I finish I put a toothpick in the end of the tube to seal that seems to hold ok good luck hope this info helps you

I have saved the cap, taken the applicator off and put the cap back on, wrapping the application in plastic or putting the tube and applicator in a zip lock bag. I have also just put plastic wrap over the applicator and secured it with a rubber band, you can also simply stick a small nail or pin in the open tip of the applicator and that works very well too (something painters do with caulk tubes) ... not a problem and it is a good product.

the tip stays on until you get ready to pull it off. i leave mine on while walking on hard surfaces but take it off when walking off road.

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

I get my cat wound up with a feather on a pole type toy first, or a laser dot. Then I use the SmartyKat when I've tired out lol. You could try switching that around? When you cat stays on the wand, use the laser dot to get him to jump away, the turn off the dot and let him go after the SmartyKat again.

The tip became permanently glued on after a few uses, so I just unscrew the whole top part and apply glue with a toothpick. It's much easier to control that way anyhow. And it doesn't seem to be drying out.

l put Vasaline on cone end to make it slide on. easier to point where you twist it to lock in place. Regards, Don☺.

Easy...squeeze and pull off...and just push the new refill onto the roller. We use our roller every day and love it. Our cat sheds quite a bit and the Evercare rollers make life much easier! &#128515;

It looks a lot trickier than it actually is! Just turn the plastic tip about a quarter turn counterclockwise and then pull it straight outwards and off it gently comes. I remember the first time I tried it getting so frustrated that I finally grabbed some plyers but that was not a good idea as it will only break the tip and make the cap unusable - it is so easy if you just turn the tip back and just pull off. :)

I believe it does not stay on. It only is in when it triggers. I'm sorry I can't be too specific, I don't have it anymore
