3 years ago my cat stepped into some blacktop, that cold junk you put
on driveways to keep them ugly and black but no cracks.

so i called some vets and they said it would wear off.

it's been 3 years and the stuff is still there on mostly 2 paws. it's
just ever so slightly less black and just a tiny bit of pink showing
through.

i can't think of any solution that would work. the vets can't think of
anything that would work and not have serious consequences possibly.

i have tried orange power, gojo, alcohol, spray and shout, lanolin,
nail files to abraid gently the paws but nothing seems to work. on
myself, the alcohol worked fine to get rid of blacktop but not on the
kitty. she snuck out while a neighbor was blacktopping the driveway.
well, ran between my hands as i went to grab her. too quick for me
unfortunately.
