UM-Bot Posted January 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's not only humans who favor one hand over the other - cats seem to share this preference as well. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/315084/study-shows-cats-can-be-right-or-left-pawed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm not surprised, my dog Ringo is very much left pawed, so why not cats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog Maggie is left pawed. I've also had cats that batted their toys with their left paw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted January 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Perhaps not surprising as domestic cats are, like humans, wonderfully adaptable. Cats have been described as '... one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts' by geneticist OBrien.

TripGun Posted January 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My cat is ambidextrous as he can use both paws equally well covering up his poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted January 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2018 They've done studies with mice by dropping food into a box with a very small opening to see which paw the mouse will use to pull out the food. Mice consistently use the right or left paw to do this, so it's been pretty well proven any animal can be left or right pawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted January 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2018 And apparently, dogs can be dyslegsic. It's spelled that way on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFOwatcher Posted February 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I find amazing how we all (me too) like pet pictures. YouTube is full of very popular clips We all have parents but I don't usually want to see pictures of other people's parents but the pet shots we always like.
