Paws
💡 Did you know?
- The soft pads under a cat's paws are often called toe beans! They help cats walk super quietly.
- Most cats have 18 toes: 5 on each front paw and 4 on each back paw. Some cats have extra toes!
- Cats can pull their claws in and push them out. Tucking them away keeps them sharp and quiet.
- Cats scratch to keep their claws healthy and to leave their smell. A scratching post is the best place!
- Cats walk on their tiptoes! And they sweat a tiny bit through their paw pads.
