Teach them at a young age and they won't scratch. I have 3 cats right now, my oldest is a grey tom cat, complete *********, he'll scratch anything, but we never clipped his nails. I have a 3 year old orange cat that I started clipping at a young age, i think he's only scratched me once when i gave him a bath. other than that he never puts his claws out. my 10 month old orange cat i've been clipping since i got him, and he's an idiot and i don't think knows how to put his claws out. needless to say he's never scratched anything anyhow. Maybe i just got lucky with them, but I think as long as you keep the nails short, they don't extend far enough to scratch.
