My cat ripped out nails, no bleeding. What should I do or worry about?

Question

My cat tried to jump on a chair and approximately 3 nails got ripped out. There is no bleeding but I don't know what to do. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 20 lbs

If there's no bleeding you probably don't need to do anything else. It is rare for a broken toenail to become infected or cause problems. If Oreo seems painful or the nail beds do start bleeding you should contact your vet.
