STAYING CONNECTED

Puffy Cat Feet
Ginger presented to me for puffy cat feet since a kitten. Three of the central pads are affected. Owner says cats feet have looked like this ever since she has had the cat from six months of age. They are soft like a marshmallow, non-painful, have a bluish tinge, cracks. No sores noted. The cat has one normal foot and only the central paws are affected. I have no other history on this cat. Current on vaccines and has been spayed. No apparent health problems.
