Cats have five toes on their front paw; four of the toes are used for locomotion, and the dew claw, which is found further up on the leg, near the wrist joint. The dew claw is primarily used for gripping and holding things such as climbing or holding prey.

A cat's paw is generally about a half inch to three quarters of an inch wide. The part of the paw that touches the ground is about the same front to back.

The heel on a cat's hind leg is typically four or five inches away from his toes, but only actually touches the ground when he is sitting. The heel of his front paw is about two inches away from the front of his paw.
