Does this choice pertain to just the front paws, or the BACK ones too? It would be VERY difficult to decide which one is your 'favourite', when you have so many to choose from. For Example: Does a cat that likes his or her back left paw best, then bat at things with THAT paw? How awkward would that be! And what about scratching itself? Which will it use most? The favourite paw? But this might be awkward. This will keep me up late at night, once again. You are very good at doing that, M. Catfact
