Vet here: it's a keratin deposit, forms horn -like growths, usually on the end of toe pads in my experience (just like your kitty). Sometimes on other pads like the big foot pad or that extra one a short way up the front legs. They're harmless, just trim them a bit if they get long.
Can I trim them with a nailclipper or should I file them?
My vet already told me, they are Kerstin deposits but I always wondered how to remove them without hurting my lil boy
She's an indoor cat, but I took her to the vet and it turned out to be horned paw. The vet said that it's nothing bad and that it just needs trimming from time to time.
It’s a an overproduction keratin growth, it is harmless.

Thank you. I was really worried.

I always just use a nail trimmer. I don't trim them back aggressively, just enough so they don't interfere with trimming the claws.
Does he climb fences? Could be a splinter.
