A non-restrictive or parenthetical element is a part of a sentence that can be removed without changing the sentence’s meaning. The sentence would still make sense without the parenthetical element.

In this case, “look at the size of his paws” is the non-restrictive or parenthetical element. We don’t need this information for the sentence to make sense.
