A cat's claws are sharp and curved which "hooks" them into prey or another object. The claws are actually part of a cat's toe bone which makes them incredibly strong and it is rare for a cat to lose a claw. This, as well as incredibly strong muscles, enables cats to hang off of huge, moving prey such as a lion, or a leopard to climb a tree with ease. To ensure the claws stay sharp, the claws in most cats (with the exception of the cheetah) are retractable. Tendons and muscle are attached to the base of the claw and the toes which pull the claw back when at rest or walking. This ensures the claw stays clean and sharp for when they are needed.

Yes, the middle toe is medial to the big toe. In anatomical terms, "medial" refers to a position closer to the midline of the body, while "lateral" refers to a position further away from the midline. Since the big toe is located on the lateral side of the foot and the middle toe is positioned closer to the midline, the middle toe is indeed medial to the big toe.
