He seems to put in effort to not use his claws if he's just playfully batting my hands, etc, so by extrapolation using claws = instinct/accident or something I'm doing is either scaring or hurting him. If I was that concerned about my furniture I wouldn't have adopted him. As for randomly sticking me or trying to knead my arms, etc, well, he's not doing it to hurt me and it's not like it hurts much. It's tolerable. He won't be declawed.Some people say cats are not very smart. But darnit, they really are!
He is, I should mention, EXTREMELY clever. He's already figured out how to undo a twist-tie (He kept going into my fireplace to explore, so I tied the metal curtains shut with a twist-tie that he promptly undid before climbing back in. This time I've tied it with the knot on the INSIDE so he can't get it as easily. He's still close to figuring it out lol.
I've got some videos on my Facebook that I'll work on uploading to YT to post here.[/COLOR]
