They get hung up on stuff all the time. We clip them with a nail clipper so they're not sticking out so bad. I figured it wasn't a normal thing, since our other cat's claws are not like this, but I never thought it was a big deal. I always wished we declawed her, but my husband doesn't believe in declawing.
She seems to have them out to cling to things, but they are still prickly even when she seems relaxed. I notice that she fans out her front paws as if she is kneeding/nursing.... she does this to my sister when she holds her - especially when my sister is wearing her pink velour type sweater.
I dont think I could ever commit to declawing one of my babies. If I were not able to take care of them (and give them away), I would be afraid of what would happen to them without claws. Of course they can wreak havoc on walls, furniture, and carpet big time. You have to cat proof your house, I guess lol
