It’s really not that hard. They’re just longer nails, is all. You snap your fingers by rubbing your middle finger on your thumb. Claws like that wouldn’t get in the way at all.
Now how they able to button up thier shirts or turn the pages of a book without magic, that’s the real mystery.
As for the second part: I always just envisioned that if you were born with claws and lived your whole life with claws, you’d just sort of be accustomed to doing things with them. It would just be your normal life. That was what inspired Jaith’s joking comment to Tren when he cut his palm in part one, because someone used to claws would never make that mistake.
…I admit that may not exactly be a satisfying answer though. Heh. It’s just the perspective I’m writing from.
I imagine it’s some sort of noise made from the claws being snapped. I can kinda do it with my fingernails, so I’m sure they’d think of something.
…though if I’m being honest, I just wanted something for a “eureka!” gesture other than pointing up since I do that too much, so I thought it’d be visually more interesting. 😀
That second panel is now making me wonder “How do you snap your (Fingers? Claws? Digits?) with fur and claws like that without hurting yourself?”
