Verb:

Slang used in the furry fandom to describe masturbation, or the act thereof.

Originates from the slang term jerking off. Comes from that a furry's fursona most likely has "paws" instead of hands, thus the term for pawing.
(Usually used in the same context even if the animal has claws, hands, etc.)

Can be used in past (pawed), present (pawing), or future (paw) tenths.
The red fox sat on the chair, moaning as he was pawing away at his swollen fox knot.
