    Is your cat a leftie or a rightie?

    I've noticed that Groucho always goes for his toys and reaches out with his left paw. Just curious, do your cats appear to favor reaching and touching/feeling things with one paw more than the other?

    I noticed years ago that Fister is left pawed. I noticed him standing outside his litterbox covering his pee/poo with his left paw. I think he uses the left for other things as well.

    Morgan is a rightie. He reaches for toys under things and pets me with his right paw. I believe he also arranges the litter with his right paw. Litter must be perfect!

    Years ago someone did a study with cats and how they started down a staircase and which paw they started out with. I forgot the school and the results, but I do know the Edster is right footed!

    Mitzi is definitely right pawed. She will give you a high-five with her right paw. When it's treat time she will reach for the treat with her right paw. When she digs through her toy basket it's with her right paw - it's SO cute.
