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.

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

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

Whatever works for you my fellow cat person!

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.
