my cats paws have never been moisturized, ever, in 12 years of her life. her paw pads are soft, squishy and smooth... this is like constantly using skin products when nothing is actually wrong with your skin
Sometimes cats have dry skin like the eczema we get. Evolutionary pressure doesn't mean painful medical conditions are genetically impossible. Although you can just use petroleum jelly and not whatever this overpriced bullshit is.
Outdoor cats need rough paws ffs! Indoor cats not s’much. But putting human beauty/health standards onto cats is the dumbest thing I’ve heard aside from putting clothes on them 🤦🏻♀️
This happens on lab breed cats . My brother has british - norwegian forest cat and their cat has the same issue Mine is street cat and never got sick single time . Mine is 4years old
My cat doesn't use a litter box, he is semi-wild, meaning he spends most of the day outside and comes when he's hungry or wants to sleep in a safe place, and he's never had dry paws, I only bathe him when he's really dirty or got something on him, he's on his 10th year now.
I've had to have nails removed because they would shatter. In the 25 cats I've owned, I've never had one that had dry paws. I lived in the desert and 25 below weather. My last fur baby had an eruption all over. He couldn't keep any weight on, and his stomach was bad. He died of cancer, and no medicine worked. Found out through x-rays that he had a bullet in his elbow. He'd had it since he was a kitten. We got him that way from the Humane Society. Spooks went to the vet all the time. All my others did, too.
Well, maybe cats are not made to sprint and land on concrete ? Any indoor cat should not need that, any countryside cat should not need that, but any cat living in a urban area could need that once in a while because this is obviously not his natural habitat
I agree. But with the way cats and other pets have been domesticated they're bound to be more frail and susceptible to a worse life without proper care, despite the ancestral background.
@@Verdenskadcats haven’t been domesticated that long and those dry feet in the video were probably caused by the cat licking the gross moisturiser off causing the pays to dry more than they ever would have without the moisturiser.
@@Verdenskad but cats, since they are usually grumpier than dogs have been domesticated way less, since they're also harder to train. Dogs domestication has impacted them a lot cause they mostly get bred for looks, therefore becoming more frail. This hasn't really happened that much at all to cats, the only breed I think would have trouble surviving in the wild would probably be munchkins. Also cat's ancestors compared to dogs are faster, bigger, more agile, flexible and "athletic" if that makes sense. Just think that a cat can survive a 10 meter fall with barely a scratch + cheetas are the fastest mammals. So overall it's not the same
@@maxinehenggeler3741yeah, but they still spend most of the time outdoors. Dogs have also been domesticated and evolved, but their paws don't need moisturizing. The creator is just spouting crap so she can sell a product
Animals in the wild are absolutely riddled with diseases, parasites, and deformities. Domesticated animals tend to have several times the life expectancy of their wild counterparts.
Fellow cat people and cats! Daily reminder to let your cat get their paws moisturized! I recommend this product it's really great and keeps the cats paws healthy and I see lots of professional cat people use this!! ฅ^·ﻌ·^ฅ
I can guarantee that this little regiment is probably the reason they get so cracked during winter had cats all my life healthy and full of life and never once have I’ve seen this
Thank god I wasn't the only one getting confused by this. I had 15 cats in my life, it's safe to say this never happened to any of them. You create a necessity where there shouldn't be one, if you add stuff like that to their paws they are probably licking it to get it out and causing all sorts of problems! Please take better care of your cats
If your cats paws are dry applying stuff to the bottom will make things stick to the bottom of their feet like litter. They will then eat litter or stuff on floor that gets on feet. Make sure your cat has a clean water bowl that has fresh pure water. If your cats feet are dry make sure you clean your floors with natural products and rinse well. Any chemicals and anti bacterial products If used on floor or counter tops without rinsing can cause irritation and dryness on their feet. Also feed your cats a natural high moisture diet not a bunch of dry food that is dehydrating and often high carbohydrate which is unnatural for cats. Do not use fragranced litter which is toxic. Keep your cats litter box clean everyday. If you choose to moisturize your cats paws do not use lotion or unnatural things. Make sure it's edible and remove any residue after applying. Don't do it more than a few times a week. 1st adress the cause. An indoor cat should not have dry paws. Fresh water, high moisture high quality cat appropiate natural food, fragrance free litter and non toxic cleaners used on any surface your cats walk. This first.Then and only then consider a product like this. Make sure your cat is not sensitive to the ingredients. Make sure to wipe off residue so that litter and anything on floor will not stick
I 100% agree, very good advice. Also, if all of the above (food, water, litterbox) are taken care of, TALK TO YOUR VET. He/She can check if your cat doesn't have any health issues that cause dry paws. Stay healthy guys and take care of your furry babies :)
But I think moisturizer would only make dry paws worse. Cats are pretty sensitive so they will likely lick it off and they'll be even dryer after that, kinda like when you lick your lips. The best solution would be making them stay in a more humid environment, this will fix any dryness problem is a matter of a couple days
@@GacktsBigTiddies cats evolved in the desert. They need a high water content diet such as wet food and always have fresh water. Dry food is unnatural and should only be used as a treat occasionally. It would be like a human eating cereal all the time. Like humans cats need food that is fresh with the proper vitamins. A high quality wet food is much healthier than dry food. As I stated in another paragraph one also should avoid fragranced litter and stick to natural cleaning products that are well rinsed on any surface ones cat walks. However,you are right cats will lick it off which is not a good idea
@@starspangledwinner yes, cat's have originated in the desert, however they have adapted to the climate of the countries you can find them in, there are even cats that live in the snow. And for the food, it might depend on the brand, but generally dry food contains way more nutrients overall, wet food mostly just contains protein, is a filler and generally tastes better , but it shouldn't be given to a cat more than about 3-5 times a week, I know it from experience. Everytime I wasn't home and my family fed my cats, they gave them more than one pack of wet food every day cause they like it better, but it wasn't good for them, they kept throwing up. Anyway, I agree that there should be variety in their food, cause only dry pellets can't be that good for cats. It's also great to make them a home made meal as a treat from time to time, still for the nutrients. And I don't know about the litter one, instead of using litter I just let my cats go out when they want/need to, I'm generally against keeping completely healthy cats locked in a house, I understand if the kitty is impaired and needs special care, but otherwise I doubt it can be good
Outdoor cats don’t need this done because they have strong toe beans, so don’t worry if you have an outdoor cat as they are generally more resilient if healthy but keep an eye out
As someone who has raised countless strays, the worst the paws have gotten were blisters from walking on pavement in high heat. Never as extreme or crusty as this advertises
Let the cat out for a sometime regularly. Being out amongst the element will automatically exfoliate and moisturise their paws. That's the natural way to maintain good paws. After all cats are designed to be a outdoor animal.
Reminder everyone: don’t buy stuff like this! Not unless your pets paws are cracking for other reasons. I got some paw stuff for my dog (not this one) because her paws crack in summer and winter due to hot pavement and ice melt, the stuff I have helps keep her paws safer and fixes the damage (and she doesn’t lick at it either, I trained her not to lick it off so it’ll soak in, it doesn’t leave her paws greasy and I don’t apply it often).
@@landofevolution9757 So it's better that the dog DON'T GO OUTSIDE are u saying?🤔 The street doesn't get freeze, defreeze or "get hot" partially, lol.
@@sararadley5702 But you can say that advice by YOUR experience, and that is your schedule. If you can in those hours, nice, if you like that way, NICE. But don't be everywhere trying to impose ways of life that don't belong to you. You can't think for others and judging them without knowing them.

Don't take it personal, if you take a moment reading the comments, most of them think they can control other people's lives, or they are a divine being that can judge a person only by seeing one thing that they personally don't like)
I‘ve had over 10 cats in my entire life span so far. Strays, rescues, fosters, indoor cats, outdoor cats, young and old cats. None of them ever had this issue. The strays and outdoors had some rougher paw pads but they were never cracked and still very much soft.
that's bc this product is a scam, it creates the issue of dry paws (bc you're cat is gonna now constantly lick their paws to get the stuff off. it's like how when humans constantly lick their lips. THAT'S what dries them out) and now it's tryna pretend it's a "real" issue that needs to be "addressed" and the only way to fix it is with THIS product. capitalism 101, create an issue, sell the solution.
Vet nurse here, really unbecoming to lie in order to sell your overpriced product. What you COULD’VE done is to market it towards dogs who often do have paw issues because of salted streets, or rabbits & guinea pigs who are prone to bumblefoot. You know, actually give a toss about the animals. Also, post the study you base the percentage on. Don’t have it? Shocking. 🤦🏻♀️
It’s hilarious to see this idiocracy get dragged in the comment section. Thanks for your service to our loved ones, and for helping otherwise unknowledgeable people like me not get hoodwinked!
Is this true? I have 3 cats but I recently noticed that my youngest cat's paws were peeling... like a snake shedding it's skin I thought maybe it due to the fact he ran away during this last blizzard and in my city always salts the streets... he's the only cat that goes out besides my dog but I've never had that problem with any of them before...
69%?! That’s SUCH a BS statistic. Literally no one does this because it’s not only unnecessary, but massively counterproductive. I’ve had many cats in my life and their feet have been completely fine and beautifully clean. Please folks ask your vet before you do any bullshit you see online to your poor cat!
As someone with 4 cats, Do not use foreign stuff on your cats paw pads. If you cat gets dry paw pads, go to a vet. It is not normal for them to get like that. The closest my cats have gotten to that is when one had to drag him self home after being hit by a car (he is fine now) and when my ginger tabby burnt his paw pad while trying to get food out of a hot pan. (He was fine after putting fresh aloe vera , which my vet recommended, on it every time he would limp on it, he recovered after a week. )
I'm not a cat owner but I don't think there should be a shit ton of human crap put on them. Cats clean themselves you know. Just help them with a bath every once in a while and call it that.
I hope she reads the comments and realises wha she’s doing wrong. Cats are certainly the type of animals who look after themselves and I hate it when owners use and bother their cats a lot.
The reason they’re so dry is because of constantly moisturizing it. Cats clean themselves naturally (unless the cat has some sort of medical problem where they get constantly dry skin).
All my cats that live outside have perfectly fine paws... even during and after winter. This probably means ur cat has some other issue. Not a lack of moisture.
Same with my orange kitty She goes out and does anything she wants and she even gave birth to a lil kitten a month ago. Her paws are perfectly pink and soft ❤
Same, I have 2 cats and they're outside most of the day, yet they come home, clean fur, sharp nails and smelling like rosemary, fr some things be unnecessary 🗿
Hi guys, cat’s paws are sensitive and important and they can still get dry. If you don’t feel like getting this product you can put Aquaphor or Vaseline, they are two safe products for a cat and can be put on the paws. But if the drying seems unordinary, it’s best you go to a vet and resolve the issue for your cat’s paws

There are hundreds of charity working to feed the homeless and if someone feels so strongly about the homeless then they should lead by example instead of writing comments on UA-cam.
I’ve had 4 cats and the only one who had paws like that was my little gentleman who liked to go outside every night. Nothing wrong with pampering your cat’s beans though
Bruh do you think cats in the wild are just like "hold up, my paws getting a little crusty, better go to the human civilization and get this super specific product so i don't get an infection"
Actually there is issues with some cats paws that need moisturizing but they say use olive oil or coconut oil only.. and those saying it’s not needed must not of heard of pillow paw, yeast paw, or crusty paws etc that aren’t caused by ointment but instead other issues, 3 of our 4 cats have crusty back paws that need oils now and it’s a lot to do with litter types, flooring n etc… don’t know of this product but I do know vet’s recommend other oils/ointments/medicines for them
My cat goes outside in winter too and don't use a litter box because she likes it more outside. And her paws are perfectly smooth. Your cat don't need that!
Correct! The reason their paws are so dry is because they lick them to remove the ointment causing them to dry out, then she needs to put more ointment thinking they dry out easily, then it repeats causing the cat to be uncomfortable
a secret is that if you moisterise your cat's paws, they become more fragile with time and it tends to cracks more :D so best option, leave your cat roaming outside in plain winter in order to let them build a "natural shoe" (instead of buying non essential objects and play with your animal as if they were not a living thing :D and how did you measure the 69% of neglect paws in the beginning ? -_-)
My cat's paws only looked like that when I first picked him from the streets. Once I moved him indoors and got treatment for multiple conditions (including a yeast infection on his skin) his paws gradually became softer and they are super supple now.
Honestly This is so true I have had two cats for 6 years now there paws are fine but they poo outside on soil so maybe litter from litter box causes this but I feel like people are too soft with their animals like there still animals not a human baby they can survive in the wild cats easily can if they can hunt so ye no need to be so soft
@@nicoleturner1851 there are no "cats" in the wild. this always ICKS me like??? have you ever seen a calico cat just sitting in the african savannah??? these things have been living with humans exclusively for 6000 years
cats being kept indoors is to prevent the stray population from rising, keep them safe from cars, cat fights, wild predators, etc, and to stop them from messing up the balance of your local environment. it's not about "being too soft" with your animal. ofc they can survive but there's no reason for them to live like that other than you not bothering to care for your animal
@@t3rrortoff33 Sorry, I live where feral cats probably have a higher population then indoor cats, we try to adopt the ones that hang around so we can desex them so the wild cat population doesn't grow.

You can also just use coconut oil,aloevera gel or a thick handcream without any perfume in it.If you already have that,it is no need to buy anything extra,your cat will be happy as long as it does not have cracked paws😻
It's a common phenomenon in nature that cats moisturize each others paws. It's commonly seen in the savanna amongst lions and they even have their own pedicure establishment
You can also use petroleum jelly, or has you might know it Vaseline but if your cats paws are not dry, don’t bother putting it on them it will only make them agitated
Please TALK TO YOUR VET before applying these products on them!! Find out if this is an underlying issue or not, and your vet will be more than happy to guide you on what to do. Feel free to even print out these products and ask them for their opinion or thoughts.
Umm my outside cat never took a bath never went home(bc it’s not mine) and she was quite normal she walks like a model then she died because she fought another cat R.I.P motomoto
Tbh I don’t get why people let their cats outside…most outdoor cats live 2-5 years while indoor cats live 10-15 (I got this info from Google so it may or may not be right). Plus native bird populations and other critter populations are dwindling because of cats. Unless the cat you’re looking after is a stray, I don’t get the point of not keeping your cat indoors where it’s nice and safe. My father had cats and every single one suffered because they were let outside: two of them got hit by a car, one got killed by stray dogs, one got captured by some stupid kid and got thrown off the top floor of an apartment complex, and another escaped/disappeared.
I'm sorry I hope you find him my cat was missing for a long time then he came back but then he left idk if he got killed or some one has him I miss him he was so sweet my baby 😭
I check my cat's paws from time to time to make sure there are no wounds and incase there is something stuck that causes irritation but I would not put anything on them unless the vet recommends it.

@@incognito8551 Same I have three rn. Never was an issue and their paws are perfectly fine, they are smooth and soft. Over moisturising the cat's paws can do more bad than good, because the cats lick it instantly after it's applied and the paw dries out because of it.
@@therealnefalishe knows that the oil is useless, but she wants money. that's why the video is straight up lying
my cats paws have never been moisturized, ever, in 12 years of her life. her paw pads are soft, squishy and smooth... this is like constantly using skin products when nothing is actually wrong with your skin
This is pure capitalism.. No, nothing bad happens to cat paws.. They have lived like this as feral for centuries..
Sometimes cats have dry skin like the eczema we get. Evolutionary pressure doesn't mean painful medical conditions are genetically impossible. Although you can just use petroleum jelly and not whatever this overpriced bullshit is.
Well yeah, but who would buy their product if that said THAT?
Outdoor cats need rough paws ffs! Indoor cats not s’much. But putting human beauty/health standards onto cats is the dumbest thing I’ve heard aside from putting clothes on them 🤦🏻♀️
This happens on lab breed cats . My brother has british - norwegian forest cat and their cat has the same issue
Mine is street cat and never got sick single time . Mine is 4years old
My cat doesn't use a litter box, he is semi-wild, meaning he spends most of the day outside and comes when he's hungry or wants to sleep in a safe place, and he's never had dry paws, I only bathe him when he's really dirty or got something on him, he's on his 10th year now.
Same here.
I've had to have nails removed because they would shatter. In the 25 cats I've owned, I've never had one that had dry paws. I lived in the desert and 25 below weather. My last fur baby had an eruption all over. He couldn't keep any weight on, and his stomach was bad. He died of cancer, and no medicine worked. Found out through x-rays that he had a bullet in his elbow. He'd had it since he was a kitten. We got him that way from the Humane Society. Spooks went to the vet all the time. All my others did, too.
That’s so sad the poor baby if only our cats could talk and tell us when they’re sad or uncomfortable and then we can give them extra TLC 😽
not my 15 year old outdoors cat having perfectly pink and healthy paws without them having ever been moistourized.
I love your pfp

The definition of moisturised kittens ❤
Beautiful cat ❤
Cats survived for eternity without this. And they lick everything on their body. I wouldn't worry about them being ashy.
I agree. But with the way cats and other pets have been domesticated they're bound to be more frail and susceptible to a worse life without proper care, despite the ancestral background.
@@Verdenskadcats haven’t been domesticated that long and those dry feet in the video were probably caused by the cat licking the gross moisturiser off causing the pays to dry more than they ever would have without the moisturiser.
@@Verdenskad cat's domestication hasn't caused weird dry paws. This is BS and maybe detrimental
@@Verdenskad but cats, since they are usually grumpier than dogs have been domesticated way less, since they're also harder to train. Dogs domestication has impacted them a lot cause they mostly get bred for looks, therefore becoming more frail. This hasn't really happened that much at all to cats, the only breed I think would have trouble surviving in the wild would probably be munchkins. Also cat's ancestors compared to dogs are faster, bigger, more agile, flexible and "athletic" if that makes sense. Just think that a cat can survive a 10 meter fall with barely a scratch + cheetas are the fastest mammals.
So overall it's not the same
They've literally stayed in the wild for thousands of years, i can assure you they can take care of their own paws
True. But however, cats have evolved into more household pets, not wild animals
@@maxinehenggeler3741yeah, but they still spend most of the time outdoors. Dogs have also been domesticated and evolved, but their paws don't need moisturizing. The creator is just spouting crap so she can sell a product
@@Fau. yeah, true
Animals in the wild are absolutely riddled with diseases, parasites, and deformities. Domesticated animals tend to have several times the life expectancy of their wild counterparts.
The moment she said "69% of cat owners" is when you know she's just spouting bs 🤣
Never done this, and my cats' paws are just fine.
Fellow cat people and cats! Daily reminder to let your cat get their paws moisturized! I recommend this product it's really great and keeps the cats paws healthy and I see lots of professional cat people use this!! ฅ^·ﻌ·^ฅ
I can guarantee that this little regiment is probably the reason they get so cracked during winter had cats all my life healthy and full of life and never once have I’ve seen this
Thank god I wasn't the only one getting confused by this. I had 15 cats in my life, it's safe to say this never happened to any of them. You create a necessity where there shouldn't be one, if you add stuff like that to their paws they are probably licking it to get it out and causing all sorts of problems! Please take better care of your cats
If your cats paws are dry applying stuff to the bottom will make things stick to the bottom of their feet like litter. They will then eat litter or stuff on floor that gets on feet. Make sure your cat has a clean water bowl that has fresh pure water. If your cats feet are dry make sure you clean your floors with natural products and rinse well. Any chemicals and anti bacterial products If used on floor or counter tops without rinsing can cause irritation and dryness on their feet. Also feed your cats a natural high moisture diet not a bunch of dry food that is dehydrating and often high carbohydrate which is unnatural for cats. Do not use fragranced litter which is toxic. Keep your cats litter box clean everyday. If you choose to moisturize your cats paws do not use lotion or unnatural things. Make sure it's edible and remove any residue after applying. Don't do it more than a few times a week. 1st adress the cause. An indoor cat should not have dry paws. Fresh water, high moisture high quality cat appropiate natural food, fragrance free litter and non toxic cleaners used on any surface your cats walk. This first.Then and only then consider a product like this. Make sure your cat is not sensitive to the ingredients. Make sure to wipe off residue so that litter and anything on floor will not stick
I 100% agree, very good advice. Also, if all of the above (food, water, litterbox) are taken care of, TALK TO YOUR VET. He/She can check if your cat doesn't have any health issues that cause dry paws. Stay healthy guys and take care of your furry babies :)
But I think moisturizer would only make dry paws worse. Cats are pretty sensitive so they will likely lick it off and they'll be even dryer after that, kinda like when you lick your lips. The best solution would be making them stay in a more humid environment, this will fix any dryness problem is a matter of a couple days
@@GacktsBigTiddies cats evolved in the desert. They need a high water content diet such as wet food and always have fresh water. Dry food is unnatural and should only be used as a treat occasionally. It would be like a human eating cereal all the time. Like humans cats need food that is fresh with the proper vitamins. A high quality wet food is much healthier than dry food. As I stated in another paragraph one also should avoid fragranced litter and stick to natural cleaning products that are well rinsed on any surface ones cat walks. However,you are right cats will lick it off which is not a good idea
@@starspangledwinner yes, cat's have originated in the desert, however they have adapted to the climate of the countries you can find them in, there are even cats that live in the snow. And for the food, it might depend on the brand, but generally dry food contains way more nutrients overall, wet food mostly just contains protein, is a filler and generally tastes better , but it shouldn't be given to a cat more than about 3-5 times a week, I know it from experience. Everytime I wasn't home and my family fed my cats, they gave them more than one pack of wet food every day cause they like it better, but it wasn't good for them, they kept throwing up. Anyway, I agree that there should be variety in their food, cause only dry pellets can't be that good for cats. It's also great to make them a home made meal as a treat from time to time, still for the nutrients. And I don't know about the litter one, instead of using litter I just let my cats go out when they want/need to, I'm generally against keeping completely healthy cats locked in a house, I understand if the kitty is impaired and needs special care, but otherwise I doubt it can be good
Outdoor cats don’t need this done because they have strong toe beans, so don’t worry if you have an outdoor cat as they are generally more resilient if healthy but keep an eye out
Pretty sure all them strays out there have the glossiest beans I've ever saw and also pretty sure they aint got nobody to moisturize them 🤣
Lmao you are hulirious
Poor babies I feel really bad for them 😂
My outdoor cat has perfect toe beans that aren’t dry If they are dry it probably means they are sick idk
As someone who has raised countless strays, the worst the paws have gotten were blisters from walking on pavement in high heat. Never as extreme or crusty as this advertises
"Glossiest beans" I love this 😂
Okay, here’s something you need to know, I’m not neglecting my cat! She doesn’t need a bougie moisturiser,she can live without that.
Don't ever use the moisturiser, it's a company trick. If you use the moisturiser it will crack the paws, forcing you to buy moisturisers regularly
@@yous2244 exactly
Yeah, its propably fake anyway
@@SomeRandomUsxr yeah
Let the cat out for a sometime regularly. Being out amongst the element will automatically exfoliate and moisturise their paws. That's the natural way to maintain good paws. After all cats are designed to be a outdoor animal.
I’m glad everyone here with cats is on the same page.
Reminder everyone: don’t buy stuff like this! Not unless your pets paws are cracking for other reasons. I got some paw stuff for my dog (not this one) because her paws crack in summer and winter due to hot pavement and ice melt, the stuff I have helps keep her paws safer and fixes the damage (and she doesn’t lick at it either, I trained her not to lick it off so it’ll soak in, it doesn’t leave her paws greasy and I don’t apply it often).
Thats very similar to horses you have to oil their hooves in summer as the hotness dries their hooves causing cracking
May need to avoid hot pavement and ice melt

@@sararadley5702 But you can say that advice by YOUR experience, and that is your schedule. If you can in those hours, nice, if you like that way, NICE. But don't be everywhere trying to impose ways of life that don't belong to you.
You can't think for others and judging them without knowing them. I trust more in people that CARE about their pets, than people that think they can control everyone's life...
(PS. Don't take it personal, if you take a moment reading the comments, most of them think they can control other people's lives, or they are a divine being that can judge a person only by seeing one thing that they personally don't like)
Imagine applying to much of it and your cat starts slipping on the floor 🤧
That would be very sad 😔
I would imagine the cat 🐈 popping itself on top of its owner demanding them to take some off 😩💦
That would be cute tho
That what I was thinking
I don't know why I'm laughing so hard when I saw this comment😭
Soft paws will make their walking more painful. Trust a vet
Definitely might want to get your cat checked if this is happening. I grew up with cats and dogs, this has never been a problem in any of the season.
I‘ve had over 10 cats in my entire life span so far. Strays, rescues, fosters, indoor cats, outdoor cats, young and old cats. None of them ever had this issue. The strays and outdoors had some rougher paw pads but they were never cracked and still very much soft.
that's bc this product is a scam, it creates the issue of dry paws (bc you're cat is gonna now constantly lick their paws to get the stuff off. it's like how when humans constantly lick their lips. THAT'S what dries them out) and now it's tryna pretend it's a "real" issue that needs to be "addressed" and the only way to fix it is with THIS product. capitalism 101, create an issue, sell the solution.
Yea makes sense for strays to be tougher than pet pampered breeds
Vet nurse here, really unbecoming to lie in order to sell your overpriced product. What you COULD’VE done is to market it towards dogs who often do have paw issues because of salted streets, or rabbits & guinea pigs who are prone to bumblefoot. You know, actually give a toss about the animals.
Also, post the study you base the percentage on. Don’t have it? Shocking. 🤦🏻♀️
It’s hilarious to see this idiocracy get dragged in the comment section. Thanks for your service to our loved ones, and for helping otherwise unknowledgeable people like me not get hoodwinked!
Is this true? I have 3 cats but I recently noticed that my youngest cat's paws were peeling... like a snake shedding it's skin I thought maybe it due to the fact he ran away during this last blizzard and in my city always salts the streets... he's the only cat that goes out besides my dog but I've never had that problem with any of them before...
69%?! That’s SUCH a BS statistic. Literally no one does this because it’s not only unnecessary, but massively counterproductive. I’ve had many cats in my life and their feet have been completely fine and beautifully clean. Please folks ask your vet before you do any bullshit you see online to your poor cat!
When my cat doesn’t even go in the litter and just does it outside in our plants 😭
As someone with 4 cats, Do not use foreign stuff on your cats paw pads. If you cat gets dry paw pads, go to a vet. It is not normal for them to get like that.
The closest my cats have gotten to that is when one had to drag him self home after being hit by a car (he is fine now) and when my ginger tabby burnt his paw pad while trying to get food out of a hot pan. (He was fine after putting fresh aloe vera , which my vet recommended, on it every time he would limp on it, he recovered after a week. )
I press on the "read more" expecting more insight.. but instead you just broke my heart. 😢 Poor kitty
My had this, and it was a reaction to his cat litter. I changed brands and his paws were soon healthy again :)
Hope your cat recovered to the god/goddess that he/she is. But my guess is that the "moisturizers" dries in the first place
Of corse it was the orange cat dumb enough to get food out of a hot pan.
All orange cats share one collective braincell
@@ratgoblin5011 fr but I love those adorable orange idiots

I'm not a cat owner but I don't think there should be a shit ton of human crap put on them. Cats clean themselves you know. Just help them with a bath every once in a while and call it that.
Omg! I did not know about moisturize your cat feet really! Thank you for this video and now I will do it.

“So, 69% of the world is rag doll cats?”
bro but the fact its the meme number 69💀💀💀
“I’m mature, I’m mature.” 69 percent:
The reason they’re so dry is because of constantly moisturizing it. Cats clean themselves naturally (unless the cat has some sort of medical problem where they get constantly dry skin).
All my cats that live outside have perfectly fine paws... even during and after winter. This probably means ur cat has some other issue. Not a lack of moisture.
You moisturize your cat's paws and when there's a mouse in the house you wonder why the cat is running out with you 😂😂😂
Ahh yes home cats my cat is literally living outside doing anything he wants and when he returns back he be clean af
Same with my orange kitty
She goes out and does anything she wants and she even gave birth to a lil kitten a month ago.
Her paws are perfectly pink and soft ❤
Same, I have 2 cats and they're outside most of the day, yet they come home, clean fur, sharp nails and smelling like rosemary, fr some things be unnecessary 🗿
I just looked at my cat’s paw and her paws are perfectly fine. She takes good care of them
Hi guys, cat’s paws are sensitive and important and they can still get dry. If you don’t feel like getting this product you can put Aquaphor or Vaseline, they are two safe products for a cat and can be put on the paws. But if the drying seems unordinary, it’s best you go to a vet and resolve the issue for your cat’s paws

Bruh do you think cats in the wild are just like "hold up, my paws getting a little crusty, better go to the human civilization and get this super specific product so i don't get an infection"
Actually there is issues with some cats paws that need moisturizing but they say use olive oil or coconut oil only.. and those saying it’s not needed must not of heard of pillow paw, yeast paw, or crusty paws etc that aren’t caused by ointment but instead other issues, 3 of our 4 cats have crusty back paws that need oils now and it’s a lot to do with litter types, flooring n etc… don’t know of this product but I do know vet’s recommend other oils/ointments/medicines for them
My cat goes outside in winter too and don't use a litter box because she likes it more outside. And her paws are perfectly smooth. Your cat don't need that!
Correct! The reason their paws are so dry is because they lick them to remove the ointment causing them to dry out, then she needs to put more ointment thinking they dry out easily, then it repeats causing the cat to be uncomfortable
my cat is 17 and has always had the softest silkiest little paws. I've never seen them go crusty.
Cat paws soften than mine
a secret is that if you moisterise your cat's paws, they become more fragile with time and it tends to cracks more :D so best option, leave your cat roaming outside in plain winter in order to let them build a "natural shoe" (instead of buying non essential objects and play with your animal as if they were not a living thing :D and how did you measure the 69% of neglect paws in the beginning ? -_-)
My cat's paws only looked like that when I first picked him from the streets. Once I moved him indoors and got treatment for multiple conditions (including a yeast infection on his skin) his paws gradually became softer and they are super supple now.
Honestly This is so true I have had two cats for 6 years now there paws are fine but they poo outside on soil so maybe litter from litter box causes this but I feel like people are too soft with their animals like there still animals not a human baby they can survive in the wild cats easily can if they can hunt so ye no need to be so soft

@@nicoleturner1851 there are no "cats" in the wild. this always ICKS me like??? have you ever seen a calico cat just sitting in the african savannah??? these things have been living with humans exclusively for 6000 years
cats being kept indoors is to prevent the stray population from rising, keep them safe from cars, cat fights, wild predators, etc, and to stop them from messing up the balance of your local environment. it's not about "being too soft" with your animal. ofc they can survive but there's no reason for them to live like that other than you not bothering to care for your animal
@@t3rrortoff33 Sorry, I live where feral cats probably have a higher population then indoor cats, we try to adopt the ones that hang around so we can desex them so the wild cat population doesn't grow.

You can also just use coconut oil,aloevera gel or a thick handcream without any perfume in it.If you already have that,it is no need to buy anything extra,your cat will be happy as long as it does not have cracked paws😻

Tbh I don’t get why people let their cats outside…most outdoor cats live 2-5 years while indoor cats live 10-15 (I got this info from Google so it may or may not be right). Plus native bird populations and other critter populations are dwindling because of cats. Unless the cat you’re looking after is a stray, I don’t get the point of not keeping your cat indoors where it’s nice and safe.
My father had cats and every single one suffered because they were let outside: two of them got hit by a car, one got killed by stray dogs, one got captured by some stupid kid and got thrown off the top floor of an apartment complex, and another escaped/disappeared.
