Does any one have experience with soft-paws - those plastic claw caps that are said to prevent the cat scratching thing you do not want them to scratch?

my cousin used them. i personally didn't like how they attached. they are glued on, almost like acrylic nails. and the cat didn't like them... he would try biting them off, and in turn would rip his nails off, raggedly. Seemed terribly painful. Not to mention, the cat was later walking along the rail and fell, and had no nails to hang on. It was just by chance i was standing there, and grabbed his paw before he could fall... but if he had had his nails, then he would have been prepared to claw his way back up. that's just my experience with them...
