Left or Right Pawed?

Mrs Cat will sometimes take food out of her bowl (or off people plates,
after they're "empty") using her front right paw, so I'd assumed she wasn't
a "south-paw" :-)

However, yesterday I saw her opening a door with her left paw. That makes
her ambidextrous! :-))

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. :-)

Sorry. ;-)

GRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAN!!!! 8^p

By the way, MatSav, you cannot assume pawdedness from the door
incident, because cats figure out very quickly that only one paw will
open that door, depending on which way it swings. I will guess that
the handle is on the left and the door swings open to the right? Much
easier to open it with left paw. Try a different door swung the
opposite way and then see what she does!!

Just a guess, but an interesting experiment. Now watch everyone
observe their kitties tonight, and perhaps we will get some good
statistical data tomorrow!

Most of my doors are hung on the left and Boyfriend uses his right paw to
open them. Those that are hung on the right he uses his left paw. He's
worked out the best method himself.
