    My poor late kitty could never fully retract her claws.

    As a kitten, she’d catch a claw on the carpet, somersault, and scream until I freed her. This continued through adult hood, minus the screaming. She’d just flop on her side and tug until she freed herself.

    She ended up with bad arthritis in her old age. I long expected she had some defect in her front claws, but she was an absolute disaster at the vets, so I never got a diagnosis.
