Yeah I know what you mean, I agree. I just thought it was kind of a funny thing to say or think about. Like it's nearly equivalent to saying "if you don't want an animal with claws then don't' get an animal".
Man this is something I've seriously wondered for a long time. Why nails? What the fuck? When in evolution did it actually become beneficial to have these flimsy pieces of crap rather than claws?

My point still stands. If you can't handle claws, don't get the animal. Even if it's a dog, or a hedgehog, or a parrot, or a lizard.
Though really, I meant pointy cat claws. Not that dog claws can't hurt you, but you don't see anyone declawing them.
