Cats are incredibly clean animals, so they can often be found doing this.
But sometimes the pet shows too much interest in its paws.
What could be the reasons for this?
Painful sensations
If a cat has a sore paw, it will try to get rid of the unpleasant sensations by licking. This "therapy" has only a temporary effect, because the pain returns.
Therefore, try to touch the paw: if the cat feels pain and discomfort, it would be wiser to contact a veterinarian.
Allergies or parasites
Often, an allergic reaction can manifest itself in the paw area. Therefore, it is worth assessing the condition of the skin - there will be a rash and other damage on it.
Experts also believe that excessive interest in paws may be due to fleas. Assess the condition of your pet and carefully analyze the fur.
Boredom or stress
If the animal has nothing to do, then the pet will find any activity that will help "kill time". A paw may not be the worst option.
When cats are nervous, they often lick themselves. So, evaluate their mental state.
