Cats do a lot of things that seem strange to us.

For example, they bite their claws. We tell you why cats do this and when it is a cause for concern.

Why does a cat bite its claws?

Cats simply sharpen their claws this way, it is a normal phenomenon.

Sometimes cats do not gnaw, but pull their claws with their teeth - they knead the ligaments and muscles. This is also within the normal range.

If you train your pet to use a scratching post, it will bite its claws less often.
