The front claw of a cat has five toes, and the back claw has four toes. The front end of each toe of the front and back feet has tapered, sharp nails. The nail of cat's claw tip is composed of sheath structure, which includes the dermis and cuticle, which are connected by blood vessels and nerves on the inner side. The cat's nails grow from the outside. The cuticle of the outer layer will age over time and be constantly worn. To a certain extent, the cat's nails will split, crack and peel off. This is a normal phenomenon caused by the metabolism of the cat's nails.

Their claws can remove the aged cuticle on the fingernails of the claw tip by hooking these objects (such as the surface layer on the sisal rope or corrugated paper grabbing board used for domestic cats).
