Hi there,

My cat (a 1-year-old female) sucks her paw (it's always the same one),

and I'm a bit worried because she's starting to damage it.

Please reply ASAP!!!!!!!!

I’d be surprised if she’d been weaned too early, as apparently her mum wasn’t really looking after her anymore.

Mine sucks her tail and it’s linked to stress. Try to figure out what’s bothering her – has anything changed in her environment or lifestyle? Could she be in pain? Was she weaned too early, or was it a struggle to separate her from her mum? 🤷

Cats that "suckle" have also sometimes been weaned too early.

Hi there, Unfortunately, we aren't vets or mind readers, so if you want a proper diagnosis you’ll need to get in touch with your vet. In the meantime, it’s worth checking to see if she’s got anything stuck between her pads—look for ticks, splinters, or any scabs that might be making her scratch... It could also be down to stress, for example.
