It's common for a cat's paws to feel warm, as they regulate body temperature through their paw pads. If your cat has been active or lying in a sunny spot, their paws may feel warmer than usual. However, if the heat is excessive, accompanied by redness, swelling, or limping, it could indicate an infection, injury, or fever. Monitor their behavior—if they seem lethargic or avoid walking, a vet visit is wise. Otherwise, mild warmth is typically nothing to worry about.
