It must be true...

after all, I read it in my "Old Farmers Almanac" calendar.  Did you know that "male cats tend to be left-pawed, while female cats are often right-pawed?" I had no idea.  In my adult life (we won't count the numerous barn cats in my childhood) I have shared house space with five cats; not all at the same time.  Buckeye, Olympia, Athena, Claire and Frances were all females. I must admit that I never really noticed if they were right or left pawed.  I'm not even sure how a person would tell. It's not like they eat with a fork or write notes in cursive. I do remember one dramatic catch by Athena when a sparrow got in the house.  While I was running to open a door and coax it out, Athena leaped straight up in the air and caught and killed that bird; all in less time than it takes to tell.  I really don't know, though, if she struck with her right paw first.  And now I'm wondering, do they mean right-front-pawed or right-back-pawed or both?  While I am mildly curious about this whole question. I am absolutely not curious enough to go out and adopt another cat.
