my cat weighs about 13 lbs, should I get small or medium soft claws for her

Catherine - each cat is unique, some will take all one size on all of their nails, but some may have larger nails on the hind feet.I have both medium and large sizes at hand for my cats. Female cats tend to have smaller claws than the males - so medium may work.

Ours was that size and we got medium. Just a warning, they will probably get chewed off. Our cat chewed the tips off of all of them rendering them useless.

I'd recommend medium. Think small are for kittens, but not 100% about that.

Our cat only weights 8 pounds and we got medium claws for her and they were fine. I like for a 13 pound cat, medium would work just fine.

Once my kitten became over one year of age at 8 lbs, I switched her from small to mediums. Mediums would be fine.

Yes. That shouldn't be a problem. My 13 lb female fits fine. She doesn't really use it for scratching but likes to lay in it.

No, my cat only weighed 12 lbs. She hated it and was so miserable I took it off her and used the collar that the vet supplied. She seemed to tolerate that better. Good luck with your cat.

If she's only 7 lbs., then she must be small. The small size actually has different size claw caps. I used the smallest ones on my 6 lb. kitten.

On the Soft Claws website they have a size chart. Kitten fits those less than 6 months old, small 6-8 ibs, medium 9-13 ibs, large 14 ibs up.

Maybe a small dog that isn't too rough. My largest cat is 15 pounds and he has no problem using it.

Yes, absolutely. My cat was nine pounds with her claws and there was no problems at all. This thing is genius.

Medium fits most cats, but as the other people mentioned, follow the weight guidelines. Keep in mind that these do not eliminate the need to trim your cat's claws frequently. Consider declawing while the cat is still reasonably young, or get into a habit of checking your cat's claws every other day and clipping them as-needed or every week. You will have to keep buying more of these if you decide to use them long-term, and it's eventually going to exceed the cost of declawing anyway. Anytime the cat sheds a layer of its claw, the Soft Claw will come off with it, and they are not reusable.

I would buy the size that is right for your cat's weight ... if he is 13lbs or more, consider the Large ... if he is really big (like 20lbs+), consider a Dog size Small ...

I'd go for the large. I have a Himalayan cat and at 7 pounds the large gives her plenty of room to stand up and turn around but I wouldn't go any smaller. She loves it.

Our cat is a 10-pound Siberian female. The extra-small was too small. It did go over her head, but her face was too close to the blue fabric, and the fabric was too short. She *may* have been able to get to her 6" incision on her belly (she had a kidney removed). The small fit well but was a little long, so I just cut about 1.5" off around the edges and she could move and eat more comfortably.

I agree with v-kat that your kitty needs to be finished growing. I have both sizes, because I have 3 cats. The larger fits my 12.5 lb and 15.4 lb cats. The smaller fits my 7lb cat. It is important to note that the piece that goes around the neck is wide...about 3 inches for the large vs. 2 inches for the smaller. The Velcro gives you about 5 inches of play to adjust the size.

I have an average sized 10 lb cat, and I got her a size small. She fits just fine for a quick drive, but the small size might be a little too small for any long drives.

I have both the small and medium. The medium I have at the end of its extensions for my bigger cat which weighs around 13-14 pounds. If there is any chance of growth you may want to go bigger and just tighten it down.

My kitten is a 7 month old Bengal and noe weighs 8 lbs. I got her a medium. If your kitten is still growing, a medium is probably what you are going to need.

I don't know the answer to that... My cat is an average height/length (tho she's overweight). I use medium and they work fine.

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.
