    My cats are the same, except kittens. And as a result, probably clumsier. I get stabbed through my clothing more often than I’d like, but less often as time goes on

      Do they learn from your reaction or do you think they can feel the difference and know not to pierce skin?

        A little o’ column A, a little o’ column B methinks.

        They’re very young, so a big portion of it can definitely be chalked up to “kittens learning to controls their claws better” as well as “learning from pain reaction responses” as well as “being less playful as they get older”

        They kind of all describe the same thing. More stab times, less stab amount (until lots of age, then stab). Same is true for most cats, to varying degrees
