'Soft Claws' make cool cats
Japanese cat owners are snapping up colourful claw caps that can stop their pets scratching furniture or merely decorate a pampered puss's nails.
In January Japan became the first Asian nation to offer the United States-produced Soft Claw caps, which come in four sizes and are available in purple, pink, blue and red as well as a transparent version.
Since then around 4,000 Soft Claw cap kits have been sold in Japan, most of them this month after a major economic paper reported on the product.
