My Mini Cat

Paws

💡 Did you know?

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