Cat - fur smells around face and paws

(27 Aug 2009)

Question

I have a 2 year old cat who recently I have noticed his fur smells around his face and paws, it smells a little like cat breckies, however he does not normaly smell like this and he has not had any change in diet. He is a very clean cat and has never smelt before. Have u any ideas why he smells like this and any ways we can make it stop.

Response

It could possibly be a problem with bad breath, teeth, or maybe a smell from the ears, which could be why you are noticing a smell around the head. I would recommend getting your cat a general health check with your local vet to make sure there is not a problem there.
