Can cats be born without claws?
-
True
-
False
Some cats can be born without claws due to a congenital condition called onychodystrophy or other genetic abnormalities. While rare, this birth defect does occur naturally. All cats have claws by default, but birth defects exist.
To answer this question, we need to understand the anatomy of cats.
Option A) True - This option is correct. Cats can be born without claws. In certain cases, a genetic mutation or abnormality can result in a cat being born without claws. This condition is known as "onychodystrophy" or "anonychia." Cats without claws can lead normal lives, although they may need special care and protection as their primary defense mechanism is compromised.
Option B) False - This option is incorrect. As mentioned above, cats can be born without claws, so the statement "cats cannot be born without claws" is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) True.
