Typically a cat will have five toes, four on the front of the foot and one up towards the heel. Each toe has a claw, but only the four at the front of the foot also have hairless "pads". The central pad on a cat's foot is not a toe but what would be the ball of a human's foot.
Polydactyl cats--having six toes--became famous when Hemingway adopted one. Many "barn" cats are this type of cat.
