Katz Tales: When it's time to trim those claws

When I cuddled Inkie, he purred, pawed, and got a claw trapped in my pullover. Twenty minutes later, we had to unhook Target.

We've always cuddled, and there's been the odd dropped claw but with cotton, it's never been a problem. However, Britain is cold so we swathe ourselves in pullovers and cardigans. As cats can retract their claws at will, I assumed they needed to adjust to our woollies.
