Best Answer

There's a different number of toes in the front and the back feet.
The back feet have 4 toes and the front ones have 5 (one is higher and doesn't make contact with the ground. The nail associated with this toe is called a dewclaw and is used for grooming and hunting).
Each foot has one foot pad and one pad per toe. That makes 5 pads in the back and 6 pads in the front legs.

Why is one of a cats paws black and the others all pink?

For the same reason that some of its fur is black and some is white. A cat's fur color is usually the same as the color of the underlying skin, so if a cat's paw has white fur, its toe pads on that paw will often be unpigmented and will show pink, while another paw, with black fur, will have black toe pads from the same pigmentation.
