Talk to the paw

You might think of your cat’s paws in the same way you think about your feet: They’re for standing and walking and not much else. But your cat’s paws are engineered to help her to so much greatness! As a predator, Chewy's paws are built to help her hunt effectively. The skin pads on her paws are strong enough to offer protection from punctures when she’s walking on rough terrain, but they don’t offer much insulation against extreme temperatures. Why? Because her paw pads are loaded with touch receptors that allow her to evaluate the texture, location, and liveliness of her prey. Another effect of your cat’s exquisite sensitivity to touch? She can very quickly detect how hot or cold a surface is.

They also leave their messages with their paw's scent. Chewy has glands tucked between her paw pads that secrete water with a scent only cats can detect (like our sweat). When she scratches a surface such as a scratching post, a tree, or the carpet, she deposits some of her scent — almost like a graffiti tag that reads "Chewy was here!"

Now that you know the use of paws, hi paw 5 my friends and enjoy your Monday evening. ❤Love❤Chewy❤
