left-paw

An exciting evening was spent studying pussycat-paw-preferences.  If you are already yawning,  stop reading now,  this is the excitment climax sentence for this blog post.   This is the sound made by the fluffballs decending the staircase of danger in WendyHouse:

Matrix:  bur-bump, bur-bump, ber-pump

Sampo:  bump—bump–bump-bumpbumbbump  

Watching the bumpy affair indicates that Matrix always first puts her left-paw onto the next step while Sampo uses the not-insubstantial momentum of her stomach to launch herself down planting her left paw on every other step.  The  cunning corner two steps before the bottom of the staircase has occassionally taken advantage of Sampo’s momentum to literally bump her.  Sampo, not the brightest of kitties.

Matrix = left-pawed

Sampo = Ambidextrous
