I have had several feral cats; one was very feral and as the glove are rather bulky, I was unable to get a good handle on her and had to resort to other options to capture her. ON the other hand, on a little less feral cat, I was able to hold him and put him in the crate (he resisted with the back legs, without these gloves I would have been badly scratched). So, bottom line, they do seem to protect against claws (I don't know about bites though).
