Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years and 10 months old
I think my cat is growing another toenail? It’s right under her thumb nail. What should I do in this situation? Do I just leave it?

This looks like a cutaneous horn which is a keratin growth from the paw pad. I would consider having this removed and having the growth sent for histopathology as it could be benign or caused by cancerous process.
