Anyone have an idea how this will work?

Extra hand to hand damage, no specific animation.

Probably.

It'll probably be a racial ability, like you activate it and your hand to hand skill and damage is increased

Or you push out your claws and use stab and slash animations.

I thought special animation was http://multi.systemlink.me/2011/09/skyrim-system-requirements-revealed-in.html...

I don't think it'll need to be activated. It wouldn't make much sense to only let Khajiits have claws once a day.

According to another article I read there was no separate animation... Can't find that article though, that's why I said probably. We'll see in a month or so what actually is the truth.

i wish.. but i think its just an increase in hand to hand.. if it was this way then khajiit here i come

It's below Bethesda to leave out such an animation.

this is skyrim were talking here n ill be damned if i get shafted w out any sort of animation for my claws 2 come out. dont care bout extra damage i want to see my claws come out n have an awesome slashing animation while i attack im thinking maybe u use the ability for a specific time frame and have to wait a lil bit to use again?? anything but the god awful one a day ability frm oblivion

I clawing animation was very specifically described. I'd consider it confirmed.

Actual claws, however, are not.
