In this sentence,I don't understand the meaning of "bat".
"And tabby batted....Bat went her paw ton the glass. "No batting," said Mr.Putter. Bat.Bat.Bat."
Please tell me the meaning of the word"bat".
 
I am not a teacher.

The online dictionaries I looked at do not give a very good definition for this use of the verb "to bat". It means to hit, of course, but to hit in that special way that a cat hits something with a paw without using its claws, often "bat at".
 
Thank you very much,Raymott and Coolfootluke. I understand them.
