The skin on the surface of the cat’s paw pad is thicker than the skin on other hairy parts, but because there are many nerves inside the skin, it is very sensitive. Because of sensitivity, I can walk smoothly in unstable places. The dull soles of the feet are uneven, and nothing can be felt. And the pads are all fat and elastic fibers, so that the soles of the feet can be closely integrated with the bumps.
In addition, the pads on the soles of the cat's feet also play a role in anti-slip. The specific method is to sweat when you are nervous. The cat has no sweat glands except for the meat pad. Cats sweat not to regulate their body temperature, but to prevent slippage. The same is true for us humans, the palms of our hands sweat when we are nervous. When humans were monkeys, they sweated to prevent slippage when climbing trees. The same principle applies to the sweating of the cat’s mats.
In addition, the fleshy and sensitive pads ensure that there is no noise when hunting, making it possible to lurch. It can be called a silencing pad. However, although it is very sensitive, it will make the cat feel "very comfortable" if it is touched lightly. If the owner can touch gently with affection, the cat will open its paws and show a very happy look. Of course rough stroking is unbearable.
Some people say that cat skin peeling may be caused by cat ringworm. If you really don’t know the cause, you should take the cat to the hospital for an examination. Of course, sometimes the cat's mat peeling may also be due to the dry climate. The cat's mat lacks moisture, and the skin will become dry and tight, resulting in cracking, peeling, or even dry and cracked mats, or even bleeding. Case.
In this case, the wound must be cleaned and disinfected in time, and simple bandaging must be performed. At the same time, prepare more drinking water for the cat to ensure the humidity of the environment, provide a suitable living environment for the pet cat, and prevent the skin from peeling off the mat again.
In addition, peeling of the cat’s mats may also be affected by skin diseases. Although the cat's paws are protected by hair, they may still be infected by bacteria or fungi. They may have redness, swelling, inflammation, swelling, peeling, and hyperemia. If these symptoms occur, you should take the cat to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. If necessary, procedures may be required, and the cat’s movement should be restricted and the pad should be properly protected.
