Of course cats have different personalities but in general just learn to treat/handle your cat with respect and gentleness. Since I did I don´t even bother cutting her claws anymore and the worst I get now are sometimes tiny marks from excessive kneading on my belly <3

Yeah, my cat taps you and plays with claws out. Not clipping them would mean a lot of unnecessary snagging, scratching, and pain that's easily avoided.

Mine keep getting caught on stuff if I don't clip their claws.

Whatever works for you my fellow cat person!

[-] sandmesomesand@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was gonna say, you probably still should do nail maintenance....

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

At least my cat does that all by herself. (Not surprising because there where cats in the world long before they became pets)

I understand. I am not against clipping in general and as I wrote cats have different personalities. For example, cats that grow up without other cats might not learn to understand that claws hurt.
