I got tonnes of scratches from our cat when she was a baby and she's the friendliest cat. She's only about 18 months old now and she never scratches anyone any more, and the kids pester the **** out of her  .
So basically there's just no need. They'll grow out of it when they hit adulthood and keep their claws retracted of their own accord! And if it's because of scratching furniture, if you provide a good scratching post it's very easy to train them not to do that either. |
Yeah my fella never really scratched the furniture but he would stick his claws in people sometimes when he was playing, I used to pretend to cry when he did it and he'd stop and start licking me instead
