cat paws
Feline foot features
Cat paws are the soft, padded feet of a cat, featuring retractable claws and sensitive toe pads.
The term often appears in contexts emphasizing their distinctive qualities—silent movement, kneading behavior, or their appeal as a cute feature: She has little cat paws printed on her phone case.
Cat paw (singular) also names a type of knot and a light ripple on calm water caused by a passing breeze.
