The horse is built for speed, and its muscles are bunched at the top of its legs. The horse's knee is called the stifle and is only slightly below the 'body' level. The hock, less than halfway down the leg, corresponds to the human ankle. From the hock to the fetlock, the bones that correspond to those in the human foot are fused. The fetlock is the first toe joint - the horse stands on the tip of a single toe.

What is a stir-up on a horse?
A stirrup is not a part of a horse, but rather a part of a saddle that a horse wears. Stirrup leathers are leather strips with holes punched every inch, in which a buckle fits. The stirrup leathers hold the stirrups (on a western saddle) or irons (on an English saddle) which is what the rider places his foot in. The ball of the foot is balanced into the stirrup.
How big is a cats paw?
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.
