paws
Animal feet
Paws are the feet of four-legged mammals, especially those with claws or soft pads—dogs, cats, bears, rabbits.
The word implies something cushioned and furry rather than hooved.
To paw is to touch or scrape with a paw, or by extension, to handle clumsily or too intimately: Stop pawing at me.
Keep your paws off means don't touch.
