Grammar vs Anatomy

What's the difference between a cat and a comma?

A cat has claws at the end of paws, and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause.

Cat claws are retractable and made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails! They use them for climbing, hunting, and self-defense. A comma, meanwhile, has been used in writing since ancient Greece to indicate a short pause in speech. This pun brilliantly connects anatomy (claws/paws) with grammar (pause/clause)!
