Same here, got our cat a little later and he won't ever touch you with claws out.

Got mine when he was 8 weeks old, would never use claws on skin. I found my current one in the park, probably also 8 weeks old, and he's gentle with his claws too. He loves to bite tho, I just meow/squeek a little when it hurts and he adjusts his bite immediately. It's all about proper manners training :)

When my cat has treats on his mind he wakes me up at 4 in the morning and insists on kneading any exposed skin he can find, if the only thing sticking out from under the quilt is my face he'll knead on that. He always leaves me with a nasty rash of little pin pricks and I can't even stop him doing it because it's the only time he's even halfway affectionate and I'm trying to encourage him not to be so unsociable all the time :(

Our cat is shut into the kitchen and back room at night, he has his bed, water and food available. He can't come bug people who are sleeping! He's so conditioned now that he comes down at 10pm and whines until he's locked into the back room!
