How to stop my cat from climbing legs and scratching with claws?

Question

Sivko likes to climb up people's pants/legs and he uses his claws to the highest degree. How do I teach him not to? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Every time he does this , say no! and gently remove him from your leg. He is playing and wants attention. You can also carry a toy and when it looks like he wants to climb your leg, you can throw the toy to divert his attention. You should also clip his toe nails ( only the tips) so he has no traction, Make sure that when you clip his nails, that you do not cut into the quick (the pink part of the nail)
