Claw-some Mani-Pedis For The Nail Nibblers

Caught your furball giving themselves a mini manicure? No, Fluffy isn’t prepping for a kitty nail salon visit! When cats bite their nails, they’re usually engaging in some DIY claw care. Just like our nails, cat claws grow in layers. Over time, the outer layers can become worn or split.

By biting them, cats remove these old layers, revealing sharper, fresher claws underneath. It’s like nature’s way of ensuring their nails are always runway-ready (or perhaps prey-ready)! But watch out! Excessive biting could hint at irritations or medical concerns. Mostly, though, it’s just another day in the life of a cat—always self-grooming, always fabulous!
