Why is my cat biting her nails?

[tigi]

Is this stress related or nerves? Are they too long? Is it boredom?
She really gnaws on them and has a good go at them!
Should I be worried? Any ideas?
thanks

well, I would say that she's probably making up for the fact that she won't be going out much at the moment as it's so cold, therefore they're not getting worn down and they're too long. Mine really have a go at their claws sometimes too, I've never seen it as anything to worry about

Oh thanks! She's only six months old, and apart from a quick 2 min browse on the patio once in a blue moon, she won't stay out! I'm sure she's agrophobic!
She's being spayed next week so can go out then (son is very upset about this!).

oh she sounds lovely. if she's been made a fuss of inside all that time, I'm sure she'll still spend lots of time indoors for cuddles

yes, definitely sounds like she's just keeping them trim
