Nope. The little fella is strictly indoors only.

He's had the water blisters before the bag balm. It's off and on and it's not on all his pads. We use no chemicals. Just water and vinegar to wipe floors. Not sure if it's the litter. We use Dr.Elsey's Precious Cat.
If he can hull his bulk onto the counter and walk on the cooktop, at least we would know where the blisters are coming from but we know it's not that. He's too lazy to jump that high.
I am going to have to buy some newborn socks to put on his feet if he keeps lickin' the bag balm. LOL!
Would you recommend one of the Omega 3's, candes?

Hi Lily C, I just noticed this morning that my Dexter also have dry and flaking paws... I am a little bit concerned too, I don't think it's the litter.
My boy is big on grooming...i'm thinking it could be from licking his right front paws too much. Dexter only has this on one paws,

Bubbies: like candes says, its not much to worry about if it's just dry. Try some vaseline or bag balm if you've got it. I wonder if the dryness is from our Canadian air? lol.
Tequila's paws have improved with the bag balm. He's blister free for almost 2 weeks. I don't believe there is any perfumes in the litter. It is hypo-allergenic, no plant proteins, all natural, low dust etc...it does not say perfume free or scented.
I have been keeping an eye on his playtime. He is not allow outside so if it is anything, he's getting the blisters from the indoors. If the blisters come back, I will have the vet run some tests to make sure he's alright.
