Not always. A cat's claws are usually retracted, but it extends its claws whenever it wants to use them, whether in play or for business (climbing things, holding on to things, scratching itself, getting off to a running start, and so forth). For a cat, claws are very much like fingers for humans; they add to the amount of control the cat has over his environment and his ability to manipulate things, and he will use them when he is playing if he wants to control the toy.
