Kitty does not like to have her front paws touched/massaged
Her hind paws she'll put up with but front ones? Nah. How about your kitty? |

Our cat will abide front and back paw touching if he is sleepy or relaxed. Same goes for belly rubs, touching of ears, nose, etc.
If he is agitated, touching of the paws signals you wish to engage him in single combat. |

Don't touch my belly no matter how much I stretch and invite it or you will get raked and bit. My cat has some Siamese and a screw loose upstairs.

First couple of paw touches will get a polite relocation of paw.
Then the paw covers the hand and the claws may or may not come out. Once the claws are out, it requires head scritches for removal of paws and claws. |

All my animals regularly get paws, ears, mouths, and tails handled. Nail trims, toothbrushing/scaling, ear cleaning, tick checks, and having small children around mean that I need animals trained to be tolerant of any type of contact, invited or unexpected, whether it’s comfortable or not. Makes vet visits much easier too.

My present male cat, Timmy, doesn't like his front feet touched or handled most of the time. I don't know why, but once in a while, I can hold onto them and he's fine with it. Back feet he's fine with.
Most of the dogs I've had were males and none of them really liked their front feet being touched. The two females were much better about it. |

No touchy da paws. I said NO TOUCHY!!!!!!!!!
He gets held on his back to get trimmed. Fronts, anyway. Need the psych ward staff for trimming of his rear paws. |

For cats to accept that you need to start with it when they are kittens. Very useful for trimming claws to have them used to it young.
Older ones, forget it. My cat will spread her toes and stretch out so I can rub around giving her a little massage, but the second it tickles a little bit she withdraws and will swat at me over it. |

Makes vet visits much easier too. Cats have their own likes and dislikes. Some don't like it but they'll let you trim their nails or whatever. All of our cats are generally sociable to people and animals but some have a dislike for certain people/animals for various reasons. I'm the same way, can't fault them for that. |
