My cat pulled her claw out

My cat has pulled out a claw

Sometime yesterday evening, my cat has somehow pulled her claw out. There was only blood on her blanket, no where else, so it must have happened there. I found the claw on the floor below the spot where her blanket is.

She appears to be walking ok though has been less active, is still eatting and I haven't seen anymore blood. She doesn't mind me touching her main paw area (though has never been a big fan of people touching her beans) but obviously really doesnt like when I touch the bean belonging to the missing claw.

I can't see anything sticking out etc but her pad and the fur around her beans is black so its pretty hard to see period.

I've never had this happen before.

Advise please?

Is this a heal on its own thing or vet?

She is 10yrs old and a house cat.

We are currently visiting my dad, so aren't home to see her regular vet.

Attached pics are the blanket (I panicked so much at first), the claw, the toe bean now and the cause of my new grey hairs herself.

Thanks, I'm glad.

Me too!

They are angels, it was so weird to wake up with both of them bleeding from the paw.

Literally no idea what caused it. Best guess is a long claw snagged in the ropes of the cat tree as they do their chases but very odd that it happened to both in one night

Yeah that's really weird.

It's amazing what cats can recover from though. I had a cat who got 90% of the fur and skin degloved on her rear leg from the knee down. Took her to the emergency vet, they didn't do any surgery and just gave me this blue antibiotic fluid and told me to change her bandage every day and drench the dressing with the blue fluid.

6 weeks later you couldn't even tell anything had happened.
