black nails

Post by PeanutsFriend »

Has anyone else notice, there are hardly any black cats nails. Maybe its more common in the pure bred lot?? Not sure. BUT. Even my own black cat has white nails.
Post if you notice any..... Just so curious.

I think you are right - black nails seem to be very rare. All of mine have had white nails, even my black beauty Sally, who was otherwise black (OK, very dark brown tabby) apart from a thin white streak on her belly (although her whiskers turned white in her old age).

Only cat I know of with black nails is next doors Toto.

(Not a very good photo I'm afraid, he seldom hangs around long enough for me to get the camera!)
