Also you can and should keep your indoor cat’s claws trimmed, especially if you have a polydactyl/“Hemingway cat.” Their claws can get too long and get caught on things, which may result in injury to the cat. In the case of polydactyls, the claws that grow on their bonus toes can grow in funny ways, sometimes resulting in them being ingrown and again hurting the cat. (My polydactyl has one claw that would grow in a perfect circle if left to its own devices.)
