Cat Claws In and Out |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In the normal state, the tendon attached to a cat’s claw is relaxed, allowing the claw to fall back under the skin where a ligament holds it in place. When a muscle contracts and tightens the tendon, the claw raises so that it protrudes from the paw. | ||||||
