I've never used my hands directly for play, so that probably makes a difference. He only gets to go full wild animal on wand toys and such. I don't mind some scratches either, but I made it a point to really make even the slightest catching on skin to be off-limits, so as to be able to let others handle him without worry. Especially with one of sisters starting off quite scared of him.
And yup, the kneading can go from 0 to 100 very suddenly.
