My 10 week old kitten jumped up on the hot wood stove, one of her paws is blistered. How should I take care of her burn?

I would imagine the same way you care for a human burn. Personally, I'd take the kitten to the vet and have it looked at.

First off, sorry, I accidentally hit the minus button instead of the plus, but I think I've fixed it. My kitty got stuck to a spider trap (the glue kind) right after I got him. His little paw got a little cut up. I rubbed some petroleum jelly on it until it started looking better. If it's not a big burn, you might be able to do this, but if she's really acting hurt, it might be time to go to the vet (to check her out, get an ointment, and maybe something for pain, I don't really know what they'd do). I know I felt terrible when Constantine got stuck, so I'll just tell you that accidents happen all the time, don't feel too bad.

Poor little thing. Did you soak its paw in cold water right away after it happened? If it's not to bad put aloe vera on it, if you don't have any, put some burn cream on, or shred a potatoe and put in cold water and then aply it to the paw and wrap it, it will take the heat out and it's healing. Yes, if it's bad you should take it to the vet.

Take her to the vet, don't ever put anything greasy like butter or petroleum jelly on a fresh burn, these things keep the heat in and make the burn worse. This goes for humans too.
