Kinda weird question, but anyone know the hardness of a cats claw on the Mohs scale?

It's probably right around what a human nail is, which is 2.5 on the Mohs scale. Don't forget, cat claws grow in layers which strengthen them, but does nothing for the hardness.

Thank you very much, and yes I was talking about the gemstone scale.
