Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I purchased the soft claws from your store but the glue was dried up. What is the glue and could I just use crazy glue?

Crazy glue/Super glue will work. Trim your cat's claws, poke the end of the glue tip into the nail cap, then push it onto your cat's claw as far as it will comfortably go. You may end up glued to a nail cap, your cat's fur or yourself, but that's not unusual, for me at least. ;-) Good luck!
