Default My cat's paw.

I'm just wondering if my cat is average. On his front paw he has 5
toes and a lump. What is the function of these things especially that
lump. He also has a few whiskers next to the lump. Is this a
polydactl or a dew claw? On the rear feet he just has 4 toes.


That's a common feature on all the cats that have ever owned me. True
polydactyls have an actual extra toe.
