Cat Feet!

 

• Cats have soft pads on the bottom of their paws to enable them to move smoothly and run quickly.

• Cats have sharp claws to help the cat to grip when running and climbing trees.

• Sharp claws and soft pads allow the cat to hold onto and grip its prey effectively.

• The sharp claws of the cat are retractable which allows them to remain sharp as they avoid contact with the ground when it is not needed.

• Cats are able to walk very precisely as they put their back paws in place of the front paws, helping to minimize noise and visible tracks.
