Do you know why the claws are getting stuck in things? Retracting the claws appropriately is something cats learn by about 4 months. For a one year old to be having problems makes me wonder what is going on with the claws themselves. Claws CAN be defective. Sometimes they don't retract, sometimes they curve too much and end up piercing the pads, sometimes they don't curve enough and cut the cat when the cat is trying to groom and sometimes they curve in the wrong direction which also cuts the cat. For right now, get a claw trimmer and extend each claw, look at it carefully and then clip the white part off. If the cat doesn't get more skillful, then have the vet take a look at them. There may truly be a problem.
