Best Answer

Cat claws when not in use are kept in little skin pouches in their paws at the tip of their toes until needed.

Try this, If you have a cat, take it's paw and squeeze gently on one of its toes. Watch as the claw rides in and out. This is called a retractable claw. All cats have them except the cheetah.
