Question
Hi- The bottem of my cat's feet are cracked and dry. Do you happen to know why?
Thank you.

Answer
Hello Melissa,
Cracked, dry pads?  Could be consequences of age, diet or enviormental issues.  There are products for this problem, one being 'Tender Touch' lotion  for pads.  You should be able to get it at better pet shops in your area.  Some cats (and dogs) will get rough pads much like some people will get rough feet or heels.  Hope this is helpful.
Thanx for your inquiry,
Tomay
