My dog also licks a lot, but unfortunately he has a pollen allergy and the summer is really bad for him 
Why don't you just let it out in the garden when it starts licking its feet ?

Some years ago I had one with a pollen allergy vet told me to put a little Vaseline around her nose ! this catches quite a fair bit of pollen, ok the bu**er used to lick it of but it did help her so may be worth a go. Oh and it also worked on our daughter but she did not lick if of lol.My dog also licks a lot, but unfortunately he has a pollen allergy and the summer is really bad for him

I have a very vocal Siamese cat. I knew when I got her they talked a lot but have to admit to being shocked at how loud and persistent she can be. Had to turn the telly up earlier because she was drowning it out. Lol

My Sammy sits on the kitchen window sill and meows for me to let him in despite there being a catflap just 5 feet away.

Mine over grooms licking himself loudly, BigCat has allergies too.
When the allergies get bad I can't get any sleep as he goes "slurp, slurp" all night in my bed, then when it's time for me to get up he settles down, falls asleep
Also, he miaows loudly to be let out, immediately he then scratches on the door to be let back in. The wants the door open, to bring mice in and to freeze me to death!

i don't have a garden
i'm not sure that would stop her licking her feet. maybe temporarily until she came back in. she also normally does this when i'm trying to sleep

Thomas bites his nails.
He is grooming himself but bites each nail in turn and makes a horrible sound, like he's pulling them out.

Love Simons Cat.
Our old cat has decided it wants to try everything you eat - pain in the arse. She never did that - old age concessions ?
Taps you, or the plate. Jumps up etc. etc. Mind you, she is deaf, has no teath and has an over active thyroid and is 18. Spag bol is a favourite.

At the moment, Akaya hasn't been fixed. So he keeps trying to shag Dave.
"NO, AKAYA! Stop trying to bugger him!"

My cats are decimating the wildlife. Mostly they're brought back and eaten, leaving little gall bladders all over the place waiting to be popped by unwary bare feet like wine grapes, but sometimes pieces are left. It's a little disconcerting to be faced with a mouse face on the keyboard in the morning. Edgar likes bigger prey. A couple of weeks ago I opened the bedroom door to find a rat, fully 24" from nose to tail. Other times he's brought back rabbits - at least one that was still alive judging by the blood spatters up the wall.
Worst is when they bring back birds and rip them apart. My wife is allergic to feathers and goes into anapala....anaphel.....anepha......... thingy shock if she goes near them so it's a big clear up job. Last week I was awoken at 4am by a loud cawwing noise and found a magpie in the kitchen surrounded by three drooling cats. I hope it realised it's lucky escape once I rescued it.
Still, adorable little kittys eh

Quite often, if it's not an irritant issue, dogs lick their feet due to boredom or anxiety, as it releases endorphins for them. You may find you can 'cure' it by giving the dog some challenge to distract and entertain it - maybe hide a few treats around the room and let them sniff them out.
