![]() ![]() But one thing that a dog rarely has is the three up and one down arrangement. Different species of cats have slight variations and some have a more angled hind foot than the fore, or vice versa. This is the typical three up and one down of the arrangement of most cats paws. From the edge of the hand the digits grade upwards for three fingers then down one. Hold the hand out with fingers erect or make a fist, then push up the fingers but keep the top joints bent in. That means, like our own figure arrangement. The basic characteristics of a cat’s foot are: There are many prints found by myself and other people that show the typical cat characteristics but also show claw marks. This is a possibility so cannot be ruled out. This usually applies but is not always the case as some dogs do not show claw marks and some cats do especially when walking along a slippery path or if an animal has just landed from a jump, or if inbreeding has been taking place then arthritis may prevent a cat from sheathing its claws, or it may be that certain hybrid cats may not be able to sheath there claws at all. There is a general rule that applies, but is not always consistent, and that is, if it shows claw marks then it is a dog. ![]() Many dog prints are very similar to some cats and tracks found that are at odd angles or partly revealed can be a problem, There is also a problem in that some cats feet are more dog like than other species, or maybe there hind feet are similar to a dogs, or that a particular breed of dog has feet similar to a cat if they are splayed out in the mud for example. There are so many dogs about that tracking cats become very difficult. CAT PAW PRINT PATCHA patch of mud along a path for instance will reveal many dog tracks, but is unlikely to show a cat, as the can would have walked around the puddle, as a general rule, so if a cat spoor has been found in the mud, then that is uncommon. Cats like to remain clean also, and are fastidious cleaners. ![]() Cats hunt by stealth and creep around yet a dog is basically a wolf that runs with the pack so they do not hide to the same extent that a cat does. This is because cats are more careful in where they walk unlike a dog that will walk through a patch of mud a cat will go out of its way to avoid it. Paw prints typical of large leopard like cats Both feet are anatomically similar but it is the arrangement of the toe pads, the shape and the planter pad that determine as to whether they are from a cat or a dog. Basically both felids and canids have four visible toe pads and a hind or planter pad.
