"For people, nail biting is a nervous habit that must be conquered. For cats, it’s a pretty normal grooming behavior. “Up to a certain level, it is a normal part of feline grooming routines,” explains Dr. Carlo Siracusa, clinical assistant professor of behavior medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in Philadelphia.
While nearly all cats chew on their claws to a degree, owners should be cognizant of their cats’ grooming behaviors—if the chewing becomes excessive, it could be indicative of other issues."
