The reason cats keep chewing their toenails is because the nails are too long and the cat wants to chew them off. It is normal for the nails to fall off and there is no need to worry. Cat’s nails are made of many layers and often fall off naturally. Owners should also trim their cat's nails regularly, so as to prevent the cat from constantly chewing its own nails. In addition, the cat's long nails will cause many consequences.

Disadvantages of not cutting a cat’s nails for a long time

1. If the nails are not cut for a long time, the nails can easily grow abnormally and even grow into the cat’s foot pads. There will be a tingling sensation when walking, and over time it will cause inflammation and abscesses in the foot pads.

2. The nails are too long. Cats can easily get hooked on their nails during daily play, running and jumping, causing the nails to break and bleed due to external force.

3. Cat nails are too sharp and it is easy to accidentally scratch others when playing with humans or companions. Or when fighting with other animals, it is easy to cause serious harm to the other animal.

4. If cats’ nails are too long, they will often grind their claws, so they will scratch furniture, sofas, etc., and may even scratch curtains, sheets, etc. while running and jumping.
