I use the Soft Claws on my cat and I love them! We have leather furniture and Taylor (the cat) wouldn't use the furniture for a scratching post but when he'd jump up on the back of the couch to his favorite spot he would use his back claws for leverage (he's a little heavy). We just slip the Soft Claws on him and he's good to go for a couple of months until the nail goes through it's natural shedding process. Sometimes he gets feisty and decides to chew some of them off, but not often. I highly recommend them!
