hello! i’m a first time cat owner and so i’m not sure about what would be considered normal and what would be considered abnormal so i wanted to ask a few questions about their claws. i have cut my cat’s nails before and have noticed these things over time and wanted to know if these things are normal or not. apologies beforehand for the bad pictures & even worse attempt at explaining them
so, the first and second picture are generally about the same thing. in pic 1, his claw looks a bit rough as opposed to the usual. the second picture however is what i am slightly more concerned about. it seems as if his nail is slightly split at the place in which the arrow is pointing to, the part between the white and the clearish bits, is this something to be concerned about? is it normal?
second question is about picture three. this is one of his claws on his feet that has a very different colour to all of his other claws, with a darker tint to it. i wanted to know if this was normal or if its something that i should also be concerned about?
