Best Answer

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.

A cat's claws do not grow in length like a human's or a dog's nails; they stay at a fixed length.

No, Lions like most other wild cats and even our house cats have retractable claws.
