A cat's claws are retractable due to an elastic ligament and tendon in their paw that allows the claws to extend and retract as needed. When a cat is resting or walking, their claws are retracted to prevent them from getting damaged or becoming blunt. The ability to retract their claws also helps cats maintain stealth and agility while hunting or climbing.
They use their nails (claws) for a great many things, including grasping, climbing, attacking prey, and defending themselves. To do all of this effectively, its claws must remain sharp. Having claws that retract ensures they don't get worn down when the cat is walking and keeps them sharper for a longer period of time.
Dogs main use of their claws is for traction when running, so there would be a disadvantage to them in having retractable claws. When compared with cats, dogs generally use their very strong jaws and teeth as the main tool, and do not use their claws or paws to grab hold of prey. Dogs usually hunt as packs, so they can surround their prey, rather than one animal having to hold the prey still while it is killed. Cheetahs do not retract their claws, but their speed is very important for catching prey, so the extra traction gained is at the sacrifice of very sharp holding claws.

A cat's claws are retractable and when they are not being used, they are pulled back into protective sheaths called the epidermis or the claw fold. This mechanism helps keep the claws sharp and protected when they are not in use.

No. Most cats will retract their claws when resting, walking or running in order to protect them, and will only bring their claws out when needed. The only cat that cannot retract its claws is the Cheetah. A Cheetah's claws help it grip the ground while chasing after prey.
The Cheetah, although the Fishing cat as well as some other smaller cats can also not retract their claws. That is a misunderstanding as well. Cats claws retract automatically and forcefully protract. These cats are the only cats that don't have to forcefully protract their claws.
Fishing cats. They live in the jungle and their claws do not retract.
the bat you idot
Yes, a Bengal tigers' claws retract. All cats claws do, large (panthera) or small (felis), except for the cheetah. While in the cat family (Felidae) the cheetah actually has it's own genus/species (acinonyx jubatus) and it the only "cat" that does not retract its claws, giving it extra traction for greater speed.

A cat has 18 claws - five on each front paw and four on each back paw. Cats use their claws for climbing, hunting, grooming, and self-defense. They can retract their claws when not in use to keep them sharp.
