Fat Feet and a Haircut, Two Cats!

On Thursday (I am writing this on Saturday) the cats went to the vets for their annual MOT and boosters and Holly went along too.

Linus and Olaf both got clean bills of health.

As Holly doesn't put any weight on her back feet nowadays I regularly need to trim her claws and less frequently give the fur that grows between her pads a trim as well. I have noticed that the pads on her back feet were starting to thicken and become a bit spongey. I wasn't too worried but took the opportunity of a planned visit to have the vet look at her feet.

The vet confirmed it is due to her not putting pressure on her feet and unless they become cracked there is nothing needs doing other than the existing maintenance. As we were there she too got a check-up, the diagnosis? She's doing just fine!
