Hello, I’m Dr. Karyn! Learn my introduction to study extra about me and meet my 5 hilarious cats: Clutch, Cyril, Alex, Zelda, and Zazzles.
Amongst Alex’s lovable options – of which there are lots of – are his quirky and expressive entrance legs. The primary couple of instances I observed him sitting along with his little ft daintily crossed, I didn’t suppose a lot of it. However then it occurred once more, and once more, and once more. Contemplating I’ve solely photographed this humorous little pose a fraction of the instances I’ve witnessed it (and these aren’t all of the pictures I’ve!), you possibly can solely think about how typically he assumes this place.
Actually, I might enterprise to say that he sits along with his entrance paws crossed extra typically than he doesn’t.
And when he’s not retaining his delicate little tootsies crossed, he’s typically discovered hanging them off ledges.
A very powerful a part of my position right here at Catster helps you, our pretty readers, to know the hows, whys, and wherefores of all issues feline, and I might like to share with you the explanations behind Alex’s peculiar paw positioning. Sadly, I don’t know why he does it! However contemplating that we’re speaking concerning the cat who introduced us The Somersault of Happiness, I’m unsure that the solutions will likely be present in any logical locations!
Prepared for Something
When he’s not fortunately tumbling about or stretching his physique from wall to wall, Alex could be a bit flighty, particularly when there are guests in the home. Maybe by retaining his entrance legs crossed, he is able to flip and run in any path…however I believe that I may be reaching. Talking of reaching, are the prolonged legs one other method of staying poised and able to make a fast escape?
Possibly I’m simply looking for logic the place there’s none! In spite of everything, what likelihood did Alex have of normalcy with Cyril as his position mannequin?

When confronted with a alternative between regular and bizarre, I’m going to choose bizarre each time. Which is lucky, as a result of with my quirky cats and oddball canines, there’s little or no likelihood of life being regular in our home!
I like listening to tales concerning the wacky, zany, and kooky habits of cats, so in case your feline member of the family has some eccentric behaviors, drop me a message within the feedback under.
