Cat smells like corn

A few days ago, I talked to you about an article about "Athlete's Foot" in dogs. As a result, many friends commented: "There is no Athlete's Foot at all, it just smells like popcorn." Why do dogs and cats' meat pads smell like popcorn?

There are many friends who raise dogs and cats who especially like to smell the smell of dog and cat foot pads. This is not a prank, but because these poop collectors are deeply attracted by the scent of dog and cat foot pads and cannot extricate themselves.

Thinking about it carefully, this smell is very familiar. It feels like the smell of a movie theater, and by the way~ it’s the smell of popcorn!

In fact, the aroma emitted by the meat pads is a mixed product produced by bacteria sticking to their meat pads and penetrating through the skin, emitting this unique food aroma. This is also a manifestation of the health of dogs and cats! (It doesn’t work if the smell is too strong, just something light)

At this time, some friends will think that dogs and cats lick their own meat pads because they also like the smell of this food, just like eating popcorn, so they lick it again and again! If you think so, you are totally wrong

It is a normal behavior for cats to lick their own flesh pads in order to lick the saliva onto their paws, which can then be used to wash their faces and smooth their beards. I explained it in detail in a previous article. Interested friends can read "Cat, why are you so keen on washing your face?" What's the secret? 》

If the dog is found licking its own pads, it is a very abnormal behavior. You should pay more attention at this time. It is very likely that there is something wrong with its foot pads, maybe ticks, fungi, or injuries... The dog should give it a good check
