Hi There,

I don't think that Freshy is actually biting her claws off. When a cat scratches on something, there are often "splinters" (similar to our hangnails) that are left that seem to be annoying to the cat. I have noticed some of my cats biting off these parts of their claws, never actually the claw itself. This is normal behavior, although I have to admit it looks pretty strange!

Freshy is beautiful, BTW! I just adore calicos despite their attitude and had a wonderful dilute calico for 19 years

Regards,
PHKitkat
