Question

How many toes does a cat have?

Answer 1

Domestic cats usually have 18 toes, with five on each front paw and four on each back paw.

Cats use their toes for balance when running and jumping, and for gripping and scratching. Cats also have retractable claws, which helps them keep their claws sharp. Cats also have a special toe on their front paw called the dewclaw, which is used for grooming.

Answer 2

Most cats have 18 toes. They have 5 on each front paw and 4 on each hind paw. But this is not universal. An individual cat may have more… or even less .
