No. Cat's claws are like fingernails; they continuously grow, but become dull and jagged after some time and use, as well as becoming weaker and softer over time. This is why cats have a tendency to scratch things such as furniture and walls - to remove the older, weaker outer parts and uncover the new, stronger material that is sharper.
