The softpaws work really really well. We did try to keep the cats claws trimmed and thus not need them. However one of our sphynx cats, like yours, loves to "dig" into carpets, he also loves to attack sofas. Even though we have tried to encourage him to use the scratch posts it is no good as he refuses to use them. The other sphynx splits his clawing about 50/50 between the scratch post and the furniture.
Our big grey furry cat scratches the wallpaper.
The two sphynx cats have grown up with each other from birth and the big grey one was by himself, being the first, for a couple of years and he still clawed the wallpaper then. Each of them has been neutered. All three get on with each other very very well, sleeping together etc etc.
But with the softpaws fitted all if these actions continue but without the consequences of causing any damage. They are easy to fit, once you have used the size chart to determine the ones you need. They come with extra glue. You have to trip the claw before attaching and you then have to monitor the cat to make sure if they are on the claw for too long they can "bend" around and press into the pad, this happens very very rarely but then you just trim them off. Just a point as our cats have had them on for years they do not create a fuss when putting them on. My wife has them all prepared first, with glue inside of them and the cats claws trimmed, and so minimising the time that the cat is being held whilst they are applied.
What I do is to order them from ebay...

We used to order them from the USA before the other two option became available but you have to be careful with customs charges if you order too many when ordering from there.
