Lemurs (except the Aye-aye) have nails instead of claws, just like us. They can be a little sharp, and they might break the skin if they scratch you. The only exception is the second toe on their hind legs, which has a claw-like nail that is used for grooming.

Cats use their claws very much the way we use fingers: to extend and solidify their grip on objects. They use their claws for traction when starting into motion, and when climbing. They also use their claws as weapons in territorial battles.

Claws are not generally used for killing prey, only catching it; killing is usually done with the teeth.
