The extra claw halfway up the back leg of some animals, particularly cats, is called a "dewclaw." Unlike the primary claws that are used for hunting and climbing, dewclaws are often thought to be vestigial and may not make contact with the ground during normal walking. In some breeds, dewclaws can be removed for various reasons, including to prevent injury.
