“The dog’s paws slipped on the ice.”

 

Animals like cats and dogs don’t have hands and feet—they have paws instead. The fleshy lumps on the bottoms of their paws are called paw pads. Some animals, like rabbits, have paws but not paw pads.

 

「猫は前足を舐めて顔を洗います」

「犬の足は氷の上で滑りました」

 

猫や犬などの動物の手足はhandやfootではなくpawと言います。裏の肉球はpaw padです。ウサギなどpawがあってもpaw padがない動物もいます。
