When we see a cat, we often first pay attention to their moving eyes, gorgeous fur or flexible tail, and cute soles, but who has counted how many fingers a cat has? I think many people don't know.

In fact, cats have 5 toes in front paws and 4 toes in hind paws, and a total of 18 toes. There is a thick meat pad under each sole of the cat, which can help the cat to shock. Cats have sharp triangular claws on their toes, which play a role in catching prey, fighting, digging soil, climbing and other activities.

The owner should trim the cat's nails regularly and prepare the cat to scratch the board and sharpen the claws to avoid the cat's scratching the furniture. If the nails grow too long, it will affect the cat's movement.
