Under normal circumstances, the cat's paws are black and pink. If the pink turns black, it may be due to melanin deposition. The blackened flesh pad feels the same as the previous pink flesh pad, with a smooth surface, no bulges, and no scabs. In this case, you don’t need to worry, as it will not have any impact on the cat’s body. A cat's nose and the cat's pads are usually the same color, so if the nose also turns black, there is no need to worry too much, this is normal.
