Cat's claws are for hunting, fighting and climbing. They are extremely sharp, and can rip your skin and make you bleed without even trying.

Dog's claws are for traction and digging. Usually dogs claws are dull, they might still cause a big of damage to the top most layer of your skin, but they have to make an effort to draw blood. Dogs hunt and fight with their teeth instead of their claws.
