According to two studies, the answer is yes: Just like humans are usually right- or left-handed, cats and dogs are typically right pawed or left pawed.
A study, performed by researchers at Turkey's Ataturk University in 1991, showed 50% of domestic cats are right pawed, 10% are ambidextrous, and the remaining 40% favor their left paw. But dogs, according to a 2006 study by the University of Manchester, tend to be more evenly split - around 50% of dogs are left pawed and 50% are right pawed.
