maybe you should squirt her with water when she's on the couch make the couch a 'no cat place' eventually she'll get the hint

Oh, that is a good idea too. We did that with Oliver when he would bite and it worked.

From the Soft Paws website....


13) Can Soft Paws® be used on back claws?

Yes. Although most people apply Soft Paws® only to the front paws, they can also be used on the back if desired.

Applying Soft Paws® to the hind claws will help prevent damage from cats jumping on and off furniture. Also, many people have used Soft Paws® on the hind claws of cats who have skin problems and scratch excessively. The nail caps help prevent self-inflicted damage from scratching.

Have you ever trimmed them before? You just have to be careful you don't hit the vein. Maybe you're better off having a vet do it or get a stypic.

---

yes, we trim them regularly.
