Meaning or Grammatical Function of かき


I've been transcribing this video.

At 7:33, there's this sentence,

"犬かきならぬ、ネコかき。"

I wonder what かき means here, or if it serves some grammatical function? Thank
you!




This かき is a nominalized form of the verb
[掻く【かく】](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/38483/meaning/m0u/%E6%8E%BB%E3%81%8F/),
which means "to scratch", "to paw", "to paddle (in the water)", "to plow
(snow)", etc. 犬かき refers to a certain swimming method, and 猫かき is a parody of
it (i.e., the word 猫かき is basically a joke).
