pats
Soft hand strokes
Pats is the plural of pat—light touches with the hand, usually affectionate or approving: a few pats on the back.
As a verb form, pats means to touch gently: She pats the dog's head every morning.
A pat of butter is a small molded portion; pats are what you get when you buy them individually wrapped.
