My cat has a red paw. Is it normal? Is cinnamon safe for my kittens?

Question

Hello, I have a female Persian cat which was lost but was recently found a month after. I have asked about her hair. Now I would like to ask a question about her paws. I noticed that one of her paws was red. My other cats paw is not red. Is this normal, or should I go see my vet? This part has nothing to do with my question, but is it safe for my kittens to eat cinnamon? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | 3 months and 21 days old | 4 lbs

She may have injured the paw by stepping on a hot surface. As long as she isn't bothered by it and there is no sign of infection (swelling, discharge, foul odor), then I would just soak the paw in a warm water Epsom salt bath for 5-10 minutes to help reduce some of the inflammation. And to answer your other question, Cinnamon is not toxic to cats or dogs. Here is a link to the ASPCA website that goes over all possible toxic plants and herbs for your future reference. Take care. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/cinnamon
