cats paw pads

My 8 month old cat has white paw pads which are very soft. They are a bit tender looking, can I get something to toughen them up a bit? They are not dry and cracked. Thanks

Re: cats paw pads

Has your little one been outside much?
You could always take him to the vet for a check over. Has he been to a vet at all?
I have had many cats over the years and i think that the pads are soft for a while. Harley my youngest is one and a half and his pads are a lot softer than our two 15 year olds.
What colour is your babe? Has most have pink pads or dark pads.

Re: cats paw pads

He's not been outside at all. His toe pads are pink, they're the very soft ones, the others are darker. I wondered if i should put something on them or if this will make it worse? I'm going to the vets tomorrow anyway, so I'll ask while I'm there. Thanks for replying.

Re: cats paw pads

When you let him out they will start to toughen up on their own.
I've just come back from Turkey and been walking about bare footed and my feet got really tough
Also now the weather is colder and damper the grass and soil where he will mostly walk will be softer.
if you have not let him out before. It's best to be with him for a few times.
To take him round the garden. I took mine out on a lead for about 2 weeks.
I also make sure they are in at night. Even more so now it's coming up to Bonfire night. There's a lot of Danger out there for our Loved ones!!
Hope this helps.
