Organs from different organisms of same origin with basic similarities in structure and design but differing in functions are called homologous organs.
The organs like human hand, cat paw and horse foot have similar bone structures, but they have varied functionalities.
So, it can be concluded that they are homologous organs which are derived from common origin. Also, they have undergone biological evolution and are related to each other phylogenetically.
