Ah. Mine are kneaders, too, so I would appreciate a reduction in stabbing. I guess I figured that trimmed claws still have sharp edges (there's still a ] edge even if the > edge is gone, if that makes sense), and the claws would still prick when they came out for kneading. Or is the purpose just to reduce the length rather than get rid of the sharpness?

Do any of yours get scratchy if you brush them? Drannor will actually bite - not severely, but he'll pinch pretty hard - if I try to brush him, so I gave up after a few attempts. (Kershach, on the other hand, just squirms a lot, so it's probably more laziness on my part that keeps me from brushing him.)

None of ours are really aggressive, even when they're angry. They do squirm a lot, though, and sometimes -- especially with Ren -- have to be scruffed and pinned down. Ren yells and hisses enough that I don't feel bad about doing that, though. >->

The ] edge does seem to dig into skin a lot less than the > edge, I think, and it does help a lot to make them shorter. So it's a little of both? They definitely stab less after a recent trimming, whichever the cause!
