Blisters on cat meat pads may be caused by fungal infection, or it may be caused by the cat's litter being too hard or being worn by foreign objects. The specific reasons need to be determined through clinical analysis, so when a cat has this situation, the owner can first disinfect the cat's feet with iodophor, and then observe it for 2-3 days. If the symptoms improve, there is no need to worry too much, but if the symptoms worsen, you need to seek medical treatment in time.

1. Fungal infection

If a cat lives in a humid and dirty environment for a long time, it will easily lead to fungal infection of the feet, resulting in blisters on the pads. At the same time, your cat’s nails may also change color, deform, or fall off. In this regard, the owner needs to consult a pet doctor in time, treat the cat with antifungal drugs, and move the cat to a clean and tidy place to live.

2. The cat litter is too hard

Cats have a natural habit of covering their feces. They usually dig the cat litter to cover their feces after excreting. If the cat litter used for cats is relatively hard, such as crystal cat litter and bentonite cat litter, it may be more difficult for the cat to scratch it. In addition, if the owner does not clean it in time, the cat litter will become clumped, and the cat will continue to scratch the cat litter. It is easy to cause blisters on the meat pad. In this regard, owners can try to change the cat litter to a lighter texture, and remember to clean the cat litter regularly.

3. Abraded by foreign objects

If the cat’s meat pads always have blisters, the owner can check whether there are foreign objects in the cat’s litter box, such as stones. , bones, etc. If the cat always steps on these hard foreign objects, it will easily cause blisters on the meat pads. If this is the case, foreign objects in the cat litter box need to be cleaned out in time.
