I've had my cat Chili for 10 years. I recently noticed that one of his toe pads is different from the others. Does anyone know what the cause might be?
The toe doesn't appear to hurt him when I touch it (he's equally obnoxious when I touch either foot), and in the year or so since I've noticed it, there hasn't been any change. It is his only pink toe pad--the rest are black. [Edited to add] He was declawed at about 18 months, before I adopted him.
I've included pictures of this strange toe pad. It took a heck of a long time to get decent pictures of it. He is a hugely overweight Maine Coon style kitty so his paws sprout fluff from every fold, and he can wiggle all 18 pounds of himself while keening loudly in a way that prevents any camera or human from focusing on his paw. I adore him.
Here are the pics:
And Himself, smiling for the camera.
Thanks!
