Yes, pads on cats' feet serve a specific purpose by providing cushioning, traction, and protection. They help cats walk quietly, grip surfaces, and protect their paws from rough terrain.
Cats may dip their paws in water to explore or play, but it can also serve a practical purpose of cooling down on hot days or cleaning themselves.
Male cats have nipples because they develop in the womb before the sex of the kitten is determined. They serve no functional purpose in male cats.
Cats growl when playing to communicate their boundaries and establish dominance. It serves as a warning to other cats or animals to back off or to signal that they are in control of the situation.
Cats have claws to help them hunt, climb, defend themselves, and mark their territory. Claws are essential for a cat's survival and serve multiple purposes in their daily lives.
Cats lick their toys as a way to mark them with their scent, claiming them as their own. This behavior serves to establish territory and provide comfort and security for the cat.
Cats lick their feet to groom themselves and keep clean. This behavior helps remove dirt and debris from their paws and fur, as well as regulate their body temperature.

I think the purpose of cats is that they are a good pet. They'll always be there for you when you're down. They can help lonley people and older people and be their friend for a long time. Even though cats are sneaky and shead... I think cats are a good friend!!!
Male cats do not have functional teats like female cats do. They may have small, underdeveloped nipples but they do not serve a purpose in the same way as a female cat's teats.
These are just the equivalent of a thick callous, such as we have on our feet, and they serve the purpose of a horse's hoofs, in that it's easier to support their weight on that, as opposed to soft flesh.
Well, fur for some animals is like a huge fluffy winter coat to protect them from the cold. But for some (cats) their fur has natural oils in it, which they need.
Notice that the ears are pointed, in general. They serve as fins to expedite heat transfer from the animal's body to the relatively cooler environment. They also serve as fans to provide cooling. The bigger the air the greater the fan-function. The thinner the outer edge if the air, the greater the fin-function.
