Looking for helpful hints to help deal with cats claws

I just got him a couple weeks ago and I don't plan on him getting out. I'm more worried about him being defenseless if he happens to slip out of the house. He is microchipped and he doesn't ever seem to want to go outside, but I'm worried that he might slip out one day when I'm not expecting it.

Have you heard of people clipping their cat's nails? I've seen some things online about it but it seems so very scary and I wouldn't want to damage the "quick" and make him bleed.

The claw caps seemed to do the trick for me. They never bothered my cats at all. My cats were inside at all times, so I never had to worry about them defending themselves from anything but my dogs and my dogs were pretty used to them at the time.

I've never heard of clipping the cat's nails, but I can't see why it wouldn't be okay. I want to say that it'd be easy to hurt the cat if you weren't super careful. I found a photo of the claw caps in case you were wondering what they looked like.
