paw
Clawed animal foot
A paw is the foot of an animal that has claws or nails—dogs, cats, bears, and the like.
The word extends to human hands, usually dismissively: Get your paws off my stuff.
To paw is to touch or handle clumsily or too eagerly: He pawed through the drawer looking for his keys.
When animals paw, they scrape or strike with a foot: The horse pawed the ground.
