I'm pretty sure my cat chewed on this. 😭 Should I cut/trim any of the leaves at all?

Alocasias contain harmful crystals that can seriously hurt your cat!!!! Check on your cat first!

I would probably leave them just becuz it only has three leaves and it looks like you'd be cutting off two. If you don't like the looks of them you can cut them off once it gets some more in.

Just leave them. The leaves can still take in light to feed the plant. I wouldn’t cut the leaves off until the leaf starts dying.

Please check on your cat baby! A vet visit too if it’s within your means! Alocasias are super harmful to pets
