Why do cats have paws?

Answer 1

Because the (human) parents of humans don't have four legs.

The basic four-limbed design has been around for ever. Humans co-opt the anterior pair for hands, so that only leaves two for available for legs.

Answer 2

My guess is you are new at dogs. They have paws because it is an adaptation.

The paws are padded skin like a pillow, like our finger pads.

Answer 3

Yes Yep. Most have 4 of them.

And these paws have retractable claws.

Answer 4

People do not have paws because they do not use all four limbs to walk. They have hands and feet instead.

Answer 5

So They Can Walk!
