A character is supposed to be imitating or acting like a cat, so they start batting at a moving object with their fingers curled inwards to imitate the rounded look of a cat paw. Bonus points if they start licking this faux paw. This move is often favored by Catgirls. This move also doesn't actually make any sense if the person in question is supposed to be acting on actual cat instinct: when a real cat grabs at something, its digits will be splayed out as far as possible to maximize their grab capacity. When that's not what they're doing, the motion serves two purposes: it more closely mimics the shape of a cat's paw than a fingers-extended position does, and it reinforces that the person is imitating a cat, not merely swatting at a mosquito. Contrast Humanlike Foot Anatomy. |

Ranma ½: Ranma does this when his ailurophobia drives him into thinking he's a cat. Justified in that he's not actually supposed to be a cat or part-cat; he's just acting how he perceives a cat would. | |

Matsuri and Miu, in episode 51 of Strawberry Marshmallow, each don kitty ears (not the kitty hat from episodes 8 & 43). Matsuri mimics does the Faux Paw maneuver (just batting, no licking), to Nobue's delight. Miu behaves more like a cat that's lashing out. Nobue doesn't think so highly of this. | |

Kamen Rider: Shoutaro of Kamen Rider Double claims to be able to work out where a missing cat is the same way he finds missing people: by getting into the cat's mindset. He does so by performing a Faux Paw and meowing. Not only does this work, but the woman he was hired by had ulterior motives, and never actually had a cat in the first place. As part of her cat motif, Neon Kurama of Kamen Rider Geats does this as part of her transformation pose whenever she turns into Kamen Rider Na-go. |
