Are male cats left paw dominant?
Did you know male cats might be secret southpaws? While all cats can use both paws, studies suggest a fascinating difference between the sexes. Around 52% of male cats show a preference for their left paw when swatting toys or reaching for treats, compared to just 31% of female felines. This “left-handedness” isn’t fully understood, but some scientists believe it could be linked to the genes that determine both paw preference and sex in cats. So next time your male cat is batting at a dangling string, keep an eye out – he might be a lefty!
