Kittens do not have talons, they have claws. There is a major difference between talons and claws. Just like there is a difference between claws and nails. Talons are found on birds and reptiles, not mammals such as felines.
- Kittens use their claws for:
- Defending themselves or their siblings
- Catching food
- Preventing them from falling
- Playing
- Attacking
- Itching / removing ticks
- Help stretch their muscles in exercises
- Territory marking (scratching things, which leaves visible marks as well as a scent from their feet to mark their territory
- Balance (just like humans use their thumbs for balance, kittens need claws for the same purpose. Trimming claws too much is known to make cats unsteady on their feet)
