    Cassie is a righty

    Like Jen said - straight out the middle if she's only going to be there for a short while. But if she's fixing to sit a spell - her right, almost always. Very tip of her tail gets folded around front right paw. She is definitely right pawed (right handed?) because when she reaches out to catch a bug or stop a cat ball, it's with her front right paw. I've tried tossing the cat balls leftward -doesn't make a difference.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Usually both have their tails curled up on their right side! Does this mean my cats are Right-tailed??

    Yeeps. I feel like a bad cat Meowmy. The only times I've noticed, they've had it straight out.... Interesting.

    That's my secret pleasure, watching the Edster for things I didn't know!

    Oscar is in the meatloaf position, and his tail is curled up on his left-paw side.
