Cat's muddy feet - help!

dollywops

What I would like to know is how every cat I have ever had (3) can come through the cat-flat, run up the carpeted stairs and deposit muddy paws on my bed. It is almost like their paws don't touch the ground!

^ Thank you all very much, just this morning I was greeted to amazingly muddy paw prints, I tried some wipes but he wasn't keen on that at all, he's incredibly timid and loves being around people, but hates being held, so he just ran off back outside again!

I think part of my problem is that he seems to wlak through the mud just before coming through the cat flap, so later I'm going to try blocking that off with some plant pots of some big ugly strawberry plants we have, forcing him onto the grass (which is what the other cat does, and he never gets muddy prints inside!).

Still tempted by a mat I have to say, purely because I don't think it can be any worse than what we have right now...

I got so fed up with the muddy prints, not just from my furry friends I might add, the humans are just as bad, I carpeted my entire porch with coir matting, it works a treat and they use it for scratching too.

Good shout thanks, we already have this one outside though and it hasn't helped so far! ;_;

:rotfl: Glad mine are not the only ones that can do that.
