Cutaneous horns is exactly what the vet said. He said they're rare. They looked very painful, but they're not at all. He was such a good boy!!

According to my kitty bible, "The Cornell Book of Cats", cutaneous horns are nothing more than projections of hardened skin.

He has them on most of his pads in the front, some more than others. Dr. P clipped them off just like real claws (these were soft) which made me flinch. He said as long as you get them real close to the pads, they shouldn't bleed much and I have a steptic pencil on hand.

I'm so relieved. He howled the whole way there and alllllll the way back!! But I gave him extra food (like he needs it). I'm forgiven and SOOOOO relieved it's nothing serious.

Dr. P said he's one healthy, HEFTY cat!!!

Honey has them on most of his paw pads. I get them taken off by the vet and then the last time my groomer, Jen Luckenbach, trimmed them for me. His grossest one is the one by his "wrist" (not on the paw, but on the back of the wrist area if it was a hand), it gets SOOOO long, and it looks like bark. It freaks me out, but I can cut it when it gets long, and it doesn't bleed... probably because I don't cut it really low.

Glad that all he has is cutaneous horns!!
