First question: is it possible to teach a cat to keep her claws sheathed when she is being cuddled? Bailey loves to snuggle against my shoulder, and she purrs and stretches out her front legs, with claws extended. She sort of paws at the air, but once in a while, I get sharp claws in my arm or shoulder. It is only a problem when I am wearing something thing, or something good that I don't want to get catches in.
Second question: do cats feel through the pads of their feet like we do through our fingertips? They seem to feel different textures, and prefer some over others, and I just wondered if their paws are that sensitive. Right now, Sam has discovered terrycloth, I had a towel on my bed I am using as a makeshift lumbar support, and he has been sleeping on that towel for about 18 out of the 24 hours. I think this is his first encounter with a towel.
