Housecats are often described as soft creatures with pointy ends, but this is not in fact the case – or, at least, putting it that way overlooks a critical distinction.
Though a housecat’s claws are often termed “retractable”, it’s more accurate to say that they’re protractile. A retractable claw is extended at rest, and must be deliberately retracted; a protractile claw, conversely, is retracted at rest, and must be deliberately extended.
In other words, a housecat’s resting state is soft. The cat chooses to be pointy.

More profound when you consider that Doctors Without Borders rarely makes political statements.
In #UNSC mtg on Middle East, @MSF
SG Christopher Lockyear says: "Israeli forces have attacked our convoys, detained our staff, bulldozed our vehicles, hospitals have been bombed and raided. And now for a second time, one of our staff shelters has been hit. This pattern of attacks is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence. Our colleagues in #Gaza are fearful that as I speak to you today, they will be punished tomorrow."
He adds: "The humanitarian response in Gaza today is an illusion. A convenient illusion that perpetuates a narrative that this war is being waged in line with international laws. Calls for humanitarian assistance have echoed across this chamber. Yet in Gaza we have less and less every day, less space, less medicine, less food, less water, less safety."
