My cat has a weird shape of her claws.

Hi everyone, I have a question.

I have three cats and the youngest one of them (1,5 years old) has something that I just found. On both of her frontal paws she has some sort of tissue or nail or something under her claws that makes it look like it's a crab claw of some sort. It's symmetrical and happens on the same three fingers for each paw. It doesn't hurt her when I touch it and she isn't sick in any way. She isn't neutered or bred and stays only in our flat. The rest of the cats are also female.

She eats, plays and runs around as much as the other ones and it doesn't seem to bother her. She didn't have any illnesses, she doesn't have a specific breed.

I know that I'd rather ask a veterinarian to check her directly but I'm in a bit of a pickle financially and I'd like to first get advice here. I apologise if my description is vague and is incorrect, since English isn't my native language. Thanks.
