Why is it feminine?
Pattes (paw/leg) is feminine because it derives from Latin "patta," which was feminine in gender, and this gender was preserved when the word evolved into Old French and modern French. However, the gender preservation from Latin ancestors is not a reliable predictive rule in French, as many Latin feminine nouns became masculine in French and vice versa.
