Felines. Retractable claws are found within the suborder Felidae however not all members show them. The Cheetah, for instance, is a prominent member who claws remain out at all times. Other more obscure members, like hyenas, do not have them either.
Do you mean domestic cats or big wild cats? If you mean domestic/pet cats, all breeds have retractable claws. As for the bigger cats, I think cheetahs are the only ones that can't pull their claws in. This helps them to run fast, like cleats.
Claws are a type of pointed, sharp nail, usually with a hooked shape for catching and gripping prey.
They are claws that can be retracted back into the paws where they are protected from wear and tear. All felines, except cheetahs, have retractile claws.

No, Lions like most other wild cats and even our house cats have retractable claws. Cheetahs are the only cats with semi-retractable claws and they also lack claw sheaths making the claws appear to be sticking out more. A few other cats like the Fishing Cat has retractable claws but lack the claw sheath, so it may look as if the claws are always out...
