How many bones are there in a cat's leg?

Cats have 32 bones in each of their front legs and 30 bones in each of their back legs. This makes a total of 124 bones in a cat's body. The bones in a cat's leg are arranged in a similar way to the bones in a human leg. The upper leg bone is called the femur, the lower leg bone is called the tibia, and the ankle bone is called the tarsus. The toes are made up of small bones called phalanges.

Cats' legs are very flexible, which allows them to jump, climb, and run quickly. The bones in their legs are also very strong, which helps to protect them from injury.
