Just noticed that my cat's paw is looking a little raw and rough to the touch. Here are some pics and a pic of my cat, he is an orange tabby that I got as a kitten from a farm.
Cookie gets callouses on her paws all the time. I always thought it could be from the clay litter I use? I got a soothing ointment at my local pet store that heals them up nicely.
If they seem to be sores, not callouses, you can also put some Bactroban on them.
