VICTHY 100pcs Cat Nail Caps: 10 Colors and Application Steps

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

The victhy cat nail caps listing from VICTHY is for a set of soft vinyl caps that glue onto a cat’s claws. This review covers only that one product. It goes through what the listing includes, how the listing says to size and apply the caps, what the listing says about wear and removal, and what it does not say. Where the review gives a general point about cat claws or grooming, it comes from the sources listed at the end, not from the listing.

Quick answer

• The listing describes a pack of 100 caps in 10 colors, with 5 adhesive glue tubes, 5 applicators and a manual.
• The Small size is listed for cats of about 5.5 to 11 pounds. The listing has four sizes, XS, S, M and L.
• The listing says two people should do the work, and it gives five application steps.
• The listing says caps should be replaced after 8 weeks and that wear time varies with the cat and the surface.
• The listing does not give a release or removal force, and it does not say how long a cap will last on a given cat.

What the listing includes

The main product is a 100-piece pack of cat nail caps in ten colors. The listing counts the contents as 100 caps, 5 adhesive glue tubes, 5 applicators and a printed instruction sheet. The package size is listed as 6.85 by 3.7 by 0.51 inches and 1.13 ounces. The model number is VP102, and the listing shows a first-available date of September 17, 2019.

The listing describes the caps as vinyl resin. The listing also says the caps leave room for the claw to move. Those are listing claims. This review does not repeat them as facts about how any cap will behave on a given cat.

The pack is listed for cats only. The target keyword in the specs is cats and house cats, and the size guide uses cat weight, not dog weight.

Size guide: choosing the right cap

The size guide is the part of the listing buyers should read first. The listing gives four sizes:

• XS, for kittens of about 16 weeks to 5 months, or cats up to about 5.5 pounds.
• S, for cats of about 5.5 to 11 pounds. The listing says small-boned adult cats wear small.
• M, for cats of about 11 to 16.5 pounds. The listing says most average adult cats wear medium.
• L, for cats of about 16.5 pounds and up. The listing says large-boned cats wear large.

The Small size is the one the spec table shows. If a cat sits between two sizes, the listing says the caps can be trimmed at the open end. It also says not to trim a kitten’s claws before applying caps, because the kitten needs enough claw surface for the glue to hold.

How the listing says to apply the caps

The listing recommends two people for the job. The steps, as written in the listing, are these:

1. Take one cap out and try it on the claw without glue to check for a snug fit.
2. Trim the cat’s claws to about the same length as the cap. If the cap is too large, trim the open end until it fits.
3. Put a small amount of glue in the cap, about one third of the way full, and let it half-dry.
4. Hold the paw, push the fur aside to expose the nail, and slide the cap on so it covers the claw completely. Let the glue dry before the next nail.
5. Watch the cat for at least five minutes to check that the caps are secure, then give a treat or favorite food.

The listing also warns that glue can get on the fur or the hands, and that nail polish remover or a dispergator can remove it. It advises leaving a small gap so the claw can move.

The listing’s own notes say most cats accept the caps after the first few times, but some reject them. It also says caps can wear out in 3 to 5 days on some cats and last 1 to 2 months on others. It depends on movement and surface, such as concrete, grass, floor or carpet.

What the listing says about removal and replacement

The listing says the caps should be replaced after 8 weeks. It also says some cats chew at caps soon after they are first put on, and that owners should redirect the cat when this happens. For removal, it names nail polish remover or a dispergator.

Background on general cat claw care

Two non-Amazon sources give general background for this kind of product.

The ASPCA cat grooming guide says that nail trimming should be done regularly and that a cat should have appropriate scratching posts. It also says that owners can ask a veterinarian about soft plastic covers for a cat’s claws. It advises asking a vet or groomer for help if a cat refuses to let its claws be clipped. The same guide says not to declaw a cat. For a review of nail caps, the useful part is that the ASPCA treats soft covers as something to discuss with a vet, not as a replacement for a regular trim.

The RSPCA cat behaviour guide says cats use objects to scratch, mark territory, strengthen muscles and sharpen their claws. It also says cats need sturdy scratching posts that are tall enough to use fully stretched. A cat that scratches is doing something natural, so the nail caps do not change the need for a scratching post.

Who this pack suits

The listing suits an owner who wants a 100-cap set with several colors, who has a cat within the Small weight range, and who is willing to apply caps with a second person. It also suits an owner who wants a pack that includes glue and applicators, so no separate purchase is needed for the first round.

Who should skip it

Skip the pack if the cat is a kitten under the XS range, because the listing says kittens should not have their claws trimmed before the caps are applied, and it lists XS for kittens up to 5 months. Skip it if the cat is over 11 pounds and needs M or L. Skip it if you want a product that has a stated removal force, a stated wear time for your cat, or a stated tested fit range beyond the size guide. The listing gives none of those.

The listing does not claim that the caps stop scratching or prevent injury. This review does not claim that either. The caps are a cosmetic and claw-cover product described by the listing, and the decision to use them should follow advice from a veterinarian.

Before you buy

Check the size guide against your cat’s weight and build. Read the instruction sheet, and have a second person help you on the first few tries. Keep a bottle of nail polish remover or a dispergator on hand for removal. Plan to replace the caps after the listing’s 8-week mark. If the cat will not accept them, the sources above point to a vet or groomer as the next step.

How we chose

We started from three cat-only candidates in the research list and kept this one because its listing gives a size guide, a pack count and application steps that can be checked against the listing text read on 2026-10-28. Price, rating, review text and seller details were left out. The listing’s extra use line was also left out, since this review makes no health claim.

What we could not verify

The listing does not give a removal force, a wear time for a given cat, or a tested fit range beyond its own size guide. We did not fit the caps on a cat for this review, so every application step here is the listing’s own wording, not a result we observed.
