All her life, Lizzy has had an odd growth on one of her pads. The best way I can describe it is a horny growth. But the really odd thing is, I can break/clip it off and it doesn't bother her at all (except when I have to hold on to her paw to clip it off).
My cat gets little scab type things that if you break off he doesn't seem to mind about. But definitely not that bad. My cat's are just kind of like callous type things.
Maybe you should let the vet run a test on it?
Nope, she still has all her claws. And it's not on one of her toe pads; it's on the back side of her wrist. I do think the other's are right, it's probably just a callous. I normally forget all about it then after about 6 months I'll notice that it's gotten large again and clip it off.
Next time she goes in for her shots, if I remember, I'll ask about it.
Yes I have seen that. It appears to be hyperkeratosis. It is almost like how humans get corns on their feet. It is an abnormal growth of that tissue in that area. I can answer more questions if you like, just ask.

Have you heard reasons not to vaccinate for rabies in an older cat? I've heard it is not recommended for cats with kidney failure.
My oldest cat is 15 and in relatively good health. She is due for a rabies shot. This is an indoor cat who hates everyone but immediate family members. There is no...
Hello guys, this is an emergency! I accidentally closed the door on my kitten's right front paw and now he doesn't eat nor drink. He has a high fever and doesn't have the ability to stand on his own, so I need carry him to his litter box to pee. Right now, he refuses to eat and drink for almost...
Hi everyone! A stray cat has been appearing sporadically around my area. She seems rather young and tiny, though I have no idea how old she is. I believe she either is pregnant or has been pregnant recently as her nipples are rather noticeable. I'm not experienced at all with pregnant cats, so I...
Hoping someone can help - I noticed a red dot in the same place inside both ears on my cat, Bert. He's mostly an indoor guy but goes on our patio only when we are out there as well and stays close to us. We only have the one cat. His ears look pretty clean besides this spot. Nothing else out of...
My cat has a bad rash and nothing is helping. Most vets around me that have a dermatologist are closed due to covid-19. Does anybody know what this could be or how to treat it? I’ve assumed it’s an allergy but all the allergy shampoos, sprays and medicine haven’t been working
