Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

For most cats, untrimmed nails are not dangerous. They naturally shed the outer layer, and will instinctively scratch stuff to help the shedding process along.
As cats get older, this shedding process slows down, so some cats start having issues with overgrown nails. That is an issue, that does require trimming their nails to treat.
If your cat does not have an issue with overgrown nails, the reason to trim them is for you, as it also fills them. If you have a kitten, it is a good idea to trim them regularly so they grow up used to it and don't have problems getting them trimmed if it becomes necessary in the future.
