We moved into a new house about one year ago. The neighbour was concerned about our cat coming into her garden as she says cats kill songbirds.
So weve kept her in most of the time except for about one hour a day. She never kills anything as far as Im aware and she uses our litter tray for toileting.
About 2 weeks ago she came in limping with a sore front paw, she was still limping a couple of days later so I took her to the vets who said it was irritated and we put her on a course of antibiotics and some anti inflammatory/pain killer medication. She slowly got better.
The thing is Ive let her out again and she has come back again this time her two back paws are hurting her.
My question is is my neighbour putting anything down that would cause this to happen. Im concerned she is poisoning my cat or at very least causing her pain.
Is there any product that could do this? Ive done a google search but couldnt realy find anything

Could she be scaling a fence with rough bits? Or fighting?

@AndrewThornton One would assume if neighbors had put a rough or corrosive substance down than all four paws would be affected- plus her mouth ( cats lick ) edit all four paws at same time …
I’d definitely make your garden cat proof as can spare a lot of worry and expense ( if cat attacked by dog or hit by car&c)
