Out of all of her claws, Sadie has one that is so white it's almost opaque. Has anyone else seen this? She's perfectly healthy according to the vet - it just seems odd.

I've seen many dogs and cats that have multi-colored claws of different opaqueness.... in fact my mom's best friend's new dog (English Setter) has some black and some white claws... I've never researched it, but I'm thinkin the claw color is based on skin/fur pigmentation... I can't imagine how this could be any kind of health problem, I think it just makes your kitty unique! You can always give the vet a ring to make sure if youre worried, hehe

Willow has mostly white claws but one black one. It correlates with her black toe pad.

My Zinnia has one pink toe pad, while the rest are black. Similar sort of thing, maybe.
