Cats and chewing fake nails

Ive been curious to see if other peoples cats also do this.

I got fake nails recently and whenever me and my cat are cuddling, shell start grooming herself like usual and ill put my hand in front of her cause why not, she starts grooming me too. I noticed she likes to chew on my fake nails? Im not sure why. She didnt do it before, she did occasionally chew on my fingers but she specifically goes for my nails after i got them.

Why? Cat experts please tell me

That's a form of grooming, and telling you that your nails are too long lol. Animals keep their nails short by chewing and biting. (=・ω・=) 1 reply

Idk but google said: Cats will commonly chew on items to soothe their gums during teething, to exercise their natural instinct to use their back teeth, to alleviate boredom – or just for the pure enjoyment of it. Anyway look at my baby. She's a mother of 4 as of now reply

It's a type of grooming cats bite their nails if it seems too long and dangerous (meaning it getting broke like a human's nail) so they bit their nails to prevent that(￣▽￣) Also I wanna show off my new borns and their aunt Warning ️ she's (the older ginger one) not the mom theses were from a Calico cat that were rescued /⁠ᐠ⁠｡⁠ꞈ...... reply
