I would have expected to find a broken-off claw near the milk-crates she uses as a scratching post, or near the wooden step-stool in the bathroom she sometimes claws, not under the covers in my bed. I'm confused.

Probably isn't a broken off claw but just a hollow claw sheath, they shed them regularly. She probably bit it off while on the bed grooming herself. I find bits of cat claws all the time.

I've been feeling guilty when Perrine tells me she wants to play "chase" and my knees hurt too badly to run after her.

You need a laser pointer. She can chase it all she wants and all you have to do is move your arm slightly. Lily knows that when I reach for the cup of pens on the desk that that is where I keep the pointer and she gets all ready to play.

I did think it was a kind of funky-looking claw; I'll take another look at it to see whether it's hollow. Something that comes off during grooming makes more sense to find on the bed.

Perrine likes the laser pointer, but often prefers to simply watch it attentively rather than chase it. It's fun (for both of us) when she does chase it though. And if she's not more than one or two rooms away, she'll come when she hears me play with the pushbutton switch on it.
