Cats are fairly clean creatures. They are great at cleaning themselves, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get into a mess every now and then. Here’s what to do about dirty cat paws.

Cat paws can get dirty for a few different reasons. If your cat ventures outside, he may come back with dirty feet. However, your indoor cat isn’t guaranteed to have clean feet. Using the litter box can make those little paws awfully dirty!

There’s no need to give your cat a complete bath. Cats hate baths! Instead, use a damp washrag or a cat-friendly cleaning wipe to clear away the mess. If your cat has long toe hair, you may be able to prevent messes in the future by trimming it.
