I've had my aloe vera for over a year now and it's been doing really well, but recently I had to do some remodeling to the window it's in and left it on my desk, where my cat promptly bit two of the leaves breaking them open, but not off. This was a few weeks back and now the leaves have become brown in color and shriveled at the tips where the bites were.
Aside from the two damaged leaves the rest off the plant is a healthy green, but the brown on the damaged leaves seems to be spreading closer to the base and I'm concerned the whole plant will start to turn.
Should I cut the damaged leaves off? and how would I do that? or leave them on? they don't seem to be getting any better. What should I do?

Your plant will actually grow better if you remove some of the blades occasionally. You can either cut the leaf/blade off anywhere close to the bottom or even remove it from the base - it will pull off easily after cutting (unless it is in the center of the plant).
I would cut the damaged leaves off. Your plant will survive.
You can cut those spears from the base and get a perfect regrowth.
Aloe grows easily. Like all mentioned - if you cut the aloe, it will regrow very soon.
