My Moosie is a big beautiful greyscale kitty with lovely long toe fur.
However, he is also a clumsy oaf.
So it got me wondering... those of you with furry-toed cats-: do you notice a difference in their walking, jumping, landing, etc? Do you notice they slide a lot more? Do they jump up and and slide, knocking half the table contents down to the floor? Do they jump down and FLOP in non-graceful landings?
This guy amuses us to no end, but I have never had a cat slide around so much! And we have had furry-footed cats before, but never noticed any differences.
So I figure either his toe fur is too slippery, or possibly hip issues (he was a stray; maybe he has weak hips? He kind of walks with his back feet facing slightly outward).
Anyway, just curious!!
Moooooose!
...and his lovely toe fur!
