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.
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)
