40 Best Photos of Cats Showing Off Their Murder Mittens
Cats' claws are their first line of defense. They use their mittens for scratching. They also use them for keeping their footing when fighting or even when walking or climbing on smooth and slippery surfaces.
When not in use, cats amazingly retract their claws into their sheaths. In times of great need, especially when they sense danger and defend themselves, cats would quickly unsheath their deadly mittens to keep them ready to give the enemy a swift swipe.
Scratching is part of every cat's life, and they don't just do that without any reason behind it. They do that to keep their claws nice and sharp in preparation for defense.
So whenever you catch your cat scratching at one of your prized furniture, avoid getting mad at them. That's part of self-maintenance.
Instead, train them where to scratch by providing scratching poles and similar stuff. Put these poles in places where they are likely to scratch.
Remember that cats are also predators. Aside from scratching, they use these claws in hunting for prey. So whenever you get to play with your cat, don't ever forget that they are deadly predators.
One belly rub can be tolerable. Next, you will find yourself with scratches and bites! But it's not all the time that these cats show you their murder mittens.

Cat claws are not something that people should be terrified about. They are essential parts of their paws making them important tools for their everyday living.
These deadly mittens are a survival aid especially for those living in the wild. So never think of declawing them as that is animal abuse.
Learn to train your cats instead of harming them. Let them be cats and be a responsible owner yourself.
