Is her litter box big enough? You might find that getting her a larger box might rid of this problem. If it continues after providing her with a larger box, you might try calling your vet (or a vet in general) and ask them for suggestions. That usually does the trick.

Is she young? Kittens often get poop on their paws in their clumsy effort to cover it. If she is young then she should develop the coordination required to walk away from her box with clean feet. If she is an adult I can't imagine why that is happening. In any case this could become a serious problem if she were to scratch someone with those dirty claws. I was diagnosed with cat-scratch fever after being scratched by a kitten - very painful illness!

It may be the way she uses the litter box, maybe you should watch how she uses it. If she doesen't scratch around then you may have to show her how to scratch around. do it with the scoop. Take the scoop in the presents of your cat and pull a little litter over the poop. It may take a few days of doing this for her to catch on but it is worth it.

Aside from the fact that she may need a larger box, it could be you're not cleaning it frequently enough. You should be cleaning it at least once daily. If she poops 3 or 4 times a day, more often. Hopefully, this is not indicative of diarrhea; if so, you really need to consult your vet.

I have five cats in my home. None of them ever has poop on its paws. Their bm's are firm.
So I suspect that you need to find out why your cat is having such loose stools. I would talk to your vet about it.
You can use unscented baby wipes to clean her paws until the question is resolved.

i could positioned it in a plastic bag (so that's no longer smelling up your books or backpack) and prepare your instructor. once you've it in a zipper lock you're instructor could nonetheless be in a position to envision it or would merely have you ever replica it onto yet another paper.

Get her a bigger litterbox. She obviously doesn't have enough room in there to cover all the poop when scratching at it.

She's a messy cat. Is her poo runny? If so maybe you should switch her cat food.
