Hello!

This is mostly idle curiosity, since may Rana-cat's been like this for 9 years now and it doesn't seem to bother her. I have two cats, Rana and Pyret, and Rana makes ticking noises when she walks on laminate floors (not carpet (obviously!), not tile, not linoleum, and I haven't ever had wood floors, so I don't know about that). But on laminate floors, she makes tick-tack noises, just like a dog does. I do keep her claws trimmed (she's a small cat with really fine needle-sharp claws), but I only snip off the pointy parts. But I trim Pyret's claws the same way, and she doesn't make tick-tack sounds. So, does Rana just not retract her claws all the way, should I be trimming them more, is it possible that it's just the back claws making noise (I don't trim those)? But still, I would think that she'd retract them when she walks!

And is she the only cat that does this, or have other people run into the same thing?

Its age sweety as they get older they aren't able to retract them as well as they used to be able to my old man kitty was the same.
