pawprints
Fur-baby floor stamps
Pawprints are the impressions left by an animal's paws on a surface—mud, snow, sand, or a freshly waxed floor.
They serve as evidence of an animal's presence or passage, useful for tracking wildlife or figuring out which pet got into the garbage.
The term extends to decorative motifs on pet accessories, children's clothing, and veterinary signage.
The pawprints in the snow led right to the neighbor's cat.
