We put them on a kitty who wouldn't stop scratching a raw spot. They're very easy to put on, so long as you have a docile cat who will let you handle feet without problem (Note: Some vets will not sell them to you to do yourself. They put the cat out to do it. This certainly wasn't necessary with mine, and I would try it yourself first). You just put a little glue in the nail cap, and push down over the claw. I think it's advised to trim the claw first. If we're taking about a kitten, start giving kitty foot massages now to get the kitty used to feet being handled.
They stayed on for quite a while (some months, I believe). We had ours on rear claws, so they may last longer than front (our cat has front claws, but he was scratching with the rear). I would still think you'd get a month out of them easily. They don't all fall off at once, either. Kitty claws are quite soft with them on, so I don't think they'd be able to damage furniture, etc. (can I please put a plug in for getting a tall, attractive to kitty scratching post for kitty to stretch on?).
I'd say go for it.
