The part of the paw that actually touches the ground, with the five pads, is generally about 3/4 inch (2cm) in either direction. The rear paws are slightly longer.
Note that cats can spread their toes as we do our fingers, and can also extend their claws. At full extension, a cat's paw is about an inch and a half (3.5cm) wide from claw tip to claw tip.
The structure in a cat's foot that is analogous to the human heel is actually some distance up the cat's leg. If you are measuring from toe to heel, the cat's forepaw is about an inch and a half long (3.5-4cm) and his hind paw, toe to heel, is about 3 to 4 inches (7.5-10 cm) long.

How big is the average cats paw?
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 part of the foot that we call the heel actually is considerably further back; cats are perpetually on tip-toe when they walk, in human terms. 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.
