As a verb, "padding" has multiple distinct definitions depending on how it is used in a sentence. It can mean walking softly and quietly with muffled steps, similar to a cat stalking across a floor. It can also mean adding soft cushioning materials to line or protect an object. In figurative writing and speech, it describes the act of unnecessarily expanding a document with filler words, or dishonestly inflating expenses, budgets, or credentials with false additions.
