Yes they are suppose to be long. I would think filing them down could cause sensitivity and you cat may refuse to eat after wards. Teeth only grow as long as they need to on cats. Only on rodents they will need to be filed down. Because rodent's teeth will continue to grow. But you can call around at several Vet's offices.
