What's wrong with cat nails split? Bifixed nails in cats are a common lesion, mainly because cats grow too fast, resulting in broken nails and bifixed nails. Normally, nail forks will not affect the health of the pet, but may affect the movement of the pet and be detrimental to the pet's social interaction. Therefore, it is necessary to cut your cat's nails frequently to keep your nails healthy.

1. Malnutrition

If the owner only feeds the cat a single cat food for a long time, it is easy to cause malnutrition, resulting in poor development of the cat's nails and prone to splitting. Therefore, in daily life, owners must pay attention to a balanced diet of cats. Feed the cat more vitamin-rich foods, or supplementing vitamins to the cats, which can make their nails healthier.

2. Nails are too long

If the owner has not cut the cat's nails for a long time, it will be easy for the cat's nails to break down if they are too long. Therefore, during the normal breeding and management process, the owner must trim the cat's nails regularly. If the owner is not sure what level it should be cut, it is best to go to the pet store to trim it. Generally, it will be trimmed once a month. On the one hand, regular nail trimming can prevent cats from scratching people, and on the other hand, it can also prevent cats from getting injured due to excessive nails hitting something.

3. Normal metabolism

The cat's nails are layered with layers. The outer nails are old and old, and the inner nails are new. When the cat's nails are metabolized, the outer nails will fork and fall off as the new nails grow. This is a normal phenomenon.
