Cats can't retract their paws, but almost every cat in the world can retract their claws on all 4 paws. That is, every type of cat can do this but one. Cheetahs are the only cats in the world that can't retract their claws. To help keep the claws sharp, cats keep them retracted, i.e., pulled inside the paw, until they need them to play, hunt, climb, scratch an itch, or fight to defend themselves.
