I must say I have never noticed sweaty paws either at home or the vets. Perhaps they are too nervous to sweat, or as the deodorant commercial says...."never let them see you sweat!" (We know our kitties are all very proud of the way they keep their emotions "in check!")

I have noticed, though, that when the kitties come out of their carriers at the vet's there is fur everywhere. The vet told me that it is normal for excessive shedding to occur when they are under stress.
