Per dictionary.com, a “paw” is “The foot of an animal, especially a quadruped, that has claws or nails.” Well, we definitely have nails and if you don’t count the tail, we’re quadrupeds for sure!

But, seriously… It seems, especially with those kind humans who befriend us, that we’ve found ourselves with hands rather than paws. We really don’t mind either way but it is kind of nice feeling like we’re higher up on the ladder than even cats or dogs.

But, so many others don’t see us as even cat or dog equals! Hard to believe, I know. And because we want everyone to see us with the same love in their eyes that they would a cat or dog, we chose “paw.”
