MOFU-MOFU MASK (Fluffy Mask)
Does your feline friend go on a rampage whenever his nails are clipped? We’ve got the right solution for you! Our MOFU-MOFU MASK takes advantage of your cat's habit of becoming docile when blindfolded, allowing you to clip his nails while relaxing in your arms at home. Say goodbye to stressful manicures!
But wait! Why do cats become docile when blindfolded?
According to Yuki Hattori, the director of Tokyo Feline
Medical Center, "By covering their eyes, their vision is blocked, which makes them feel like they are hidden and makes them feel safe.
Source: Sippo by The Asahi Shimbun from an article on the amazing "Fluffy Mask" from Iwate, which makes nail clipping, which cats hate, easier.
You and your furry friend will surely love this mask for these amazing features:
1. Smooth attachment
Designed for easy, quick and smooth attachment and removal with Velcro tape, nail clipping can be completed in a jiffy!
2. Fits like a glove
It is sewn three-dimensionally to gently wrap around the face according to your cat's bone structure. Available in 8 sizes to fit all cats, from kittens to flat noses. The inside material, which touches the skin directly, is made of Japanese gauze used for human babies, and the outside material is organic cotton. Tags are placed on the front side of the garment, so that they do not come into contact with the skin.

Photos show the process of developing the Fluffy Masks as worn by our furry staff.
Marking the skeletal position
If there is a corner, there is a risk of hitting the eye when it is displaced.
The position and angle of the Velcro tape were checked many times to ensure perfect fit!
The mesh was made to make cats breathe easier, but there was a risk of nails getting caught when they resist.
We settled on a circular shape where the corners around the nose do not touch the rims of the eyes.
Of course, he can breathe well. He can even stick out his tongue!
Development Story
We came up with this idea when a customer’s cat went into a big rage when her nails were clipped that they even had to put the poor cat under anesthesia at the vet clinic! The master was extremely worried about the physical burden on the cat if they had to use anesthesia regularly.
Because of that, we started developing the product with our feline friends. It took about a year of repeated trial production and testing. Finally, the product was completed!
Finding The Perfect Size
We have a wide range of sizes for cats including those that are flat-nosed. Please choose one close to the reference size value. Most female cats are size S and males are size M. If the length of the muzzle is around 5cm, please select the snub nose size.

Customers' Feedback
A gentle tool for both cats and owners.
“I wish I had found you sooner! After all, it is a gentle tool for both cats and me. I used to hate claw clippers because they were so uncomfortable for both of us.... I am grateful to the creator.”
Peace of mind that they won't bite
“One of my two cats hates nail clippers and won't let me cut his nails. I felt sorry for him, but I always put a sock over his nails.”
Easily clipped the nails on both hands of my 19-year-old cat!
My 19-year-old grandpa cat hates nail clippers. He gets angry and bites when I try to cut his nails, so it's not easy. And if I leave him alone, he gets his nails stuck in various places and I can't get them off, or they grow too long and get stuck in him. When I tried using the Fluffy Mask, I found that while the cat is 🤔, I'm amazed at how easily the claws on both hands cut through while the cat is going 😮! I didn't even have time to say, "Uhhhh.... He really didn't like the back paws, though, and got mad at me. Good buy!

Comment from the owner:
“The one you put on your cat's face when clipping #nekozuki's nails. It is held in place with jarring tape. I washed it with my family's laundry after it arrived and made it smell like home before using it. It was nice to reduce the risk of being bitten.”

Comments from the owner:
“Before nail clipping, my cats become quiet when they wear this mask. I know they don't like the mask, but I think it is less burdensome for the cats if the unpleasant thing is over in an instant.
This is also why they look so cute when they wear masks.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you are a first-time user or have any questions, please read on.
Q. Shouldn't the adhesive strength of the Velcro be stronger?
A. No. We do not want the Velcro to be too sticky.We use soft-type Velcro so that cats can remove it by themselves in case they are startled and run away to avoid accidents. We have also decided to use a hard type with strong adhesion, as it is hard and may put a strain on the cat. Please understand that we made this choice with your cat in mind.
Q. Does my cat have a flat nose?
A. The profile of a cat with a flat nose is a straight line from forehead to chin, with a low nose.If the length of the muzzle is around 5cm, please select the snub nose size.Cat breeds: Exotic Shorthair, Persian, etc.The profile is Nicole, the snub-nosed monitor.
Q. Can I use it in the bath (shampoo)?
A. The mask is designed to be worn for a short time as a nail clipping aid. Please do not use it for any purpose other than nail clipping.
