If your cat will tolerate it, put a small amount of cat-safe shampoo in your hand and massage it into its paws. Do one paw at a time to maintain control of the situation and avoid overwhelming your cat.Because litter and any mess sit on the mat instead of getting trapped within it, it’s super easy to clean.

Provide Occasional Wipe Downs: You can assist by getting some cat wipes and providing an occasional wipe down of the paws as needed. If you wish, you can wipe down each paw thoroughly when you do your routine examination.

Before you start cleaning your cat’s feet, you may want to consider a shampoo or cleaner to help get their paws extra clean. However, you can’t just use any cleaner you find laying around. Instead, it is vital that you choose a cleaner specifically designed for cats. To apply lotion or cream, simply massage it into the paw pads. Be sure to avoid getting any inside the claws, as this can cause irritation. For an ointment, apply a small amount to the paw pads and rub it in. You can also put a small amount on a cotton ball and dab it on the paw pads.
