Paws and claws. Cats and dogs have paws. Some animals have claws to grip, climb, or catch.

Key Terms

Paw: A soft animal foot, often with pads and claws, used for walking and gripping.
Claw: A sharp, curved nail that helps animals catch food, climb or defend themselves.
Whiskers: Long sensitive hairs that help animals sense objects and spaces around them.
