A cat's claws are made out of the same material that human fingernails are made out of: Keratin. A cat's nails are constantly growing like a human's or a dog's, but grow in layers instead of length. Newly grown claws are covered by a protective outer layer that the cat removes by "sharpening" his claws.
However, a cat's claw is firmly attached to first toe bone. This ensures that the claws cannot be pulled out during hunting, fighting or climbing. Tendons and special joints are what enable a cat's claws to retract and flex.
