Hmmmm, I'll have to think hard about that. It'll prevent him from all licking and he'd be miserable. I tried putting little booties on his paw but he managed to pull them off (I tried a couple of different versions). Besides, he wouldn't be able to use the litter box as it's enclosed and he...

Today is only the second day with the new litter. I'm mixing it initially with the Fresh Step to make sure they get used to it. He's still licking and it makes me so upset to see it. Since his paws are mostly white, I can see pink in the middle of toes (I'm not sure they're called toes on cats)...

I think I'll give it a try. I need to research which is the best brand for them and then begin. They prefer canned food versus dry food but I don't give them alot of it. I leave the dry food out and they have some throughout the day. Once I transition the canned, then I'll work on the dry food...

How did you do the transition? Did you initially mix the food?

I wish I could wash his paws, as I've often thought that he might have some of the clay granules stuck between his toes, but there is no way he would allow that. He's too squirmy for me to handle. As for the food, I hope that isn't the cause. I don't mind spending the money if I knew they'd eat...

I appreciate all the great advice I've been given. I went out and bought Swheat Scoop last night. The store didn't have quite the selection I wanted, so, after discussing it with an employee, I thought I'd try it. It isn't clay based which I was told could cause allergic reactions, it's supposed...

I'm currently using Fresh Step. I have 2 cats and live in a one bedroom condo. The only place I have for a litter box is in my living room, therefore, this litter was perfect. No odor what so ever. But, if it means the health of my cat, I will try one of the ones you suggested. I feel so bad...

I haven't tried different litter since I've been using this brand for over 4 yrs. I can try that. Should I look for anything in particular when selecting it? As far as a specialist, I'll look on-line to see if there are any in my area. Thanks for the reply.

I have a 4 yr old cat who began licking at his back paws (one more than the other) last April. I took him to the vet because it became infected and just didn't look good. The vet said he had allergies and prescribed antibiotics and gave him a steroid shot to reduce the itching. That seemed to...

I hope and pray your cat returns home, safe and sound. My heart breaks to think of her out there and for your suffering.

I pray my cats depression is due to the steroid shot he got 9 days ago. I was getting so worried that I would cry as I sat next to him and knew he wasn't himself. I didn't know what was wrong, especially if he was in any pain and I didn't know it. Oreo had his first steroid shot in April...
