Since I got him (over a year), my cat tends to keep his right paw lifted alot and flicks that same paw. My vet says that his paws not injured. Anybody have a cat that does that? If so, do you know why?

Did your vet do a thorough nerve check through leg and each pad? Possible there could be some tingling sensation or numbness in the pads, or a pinched nerve............or a silly habit your kitty has

Princess Pepsi does the paw flick thing
I think it looks cute, never even considered it being a medical problem. She seems to do the flick thing as a sign of disgust when Miss Moofs bounces around her

Shes is a fussy one though, she wont walk on mats, towels on the floor or anything like that. She always walks around them. Cat have weird behaviours
