Give Me Some Paw: Pawwdorable Pics Of Cats Tapping Everything With Their Paws
As many of you know, our chaotic kitty cohorts discover much of the world through their paws. Their little beans and paw whiskers can pick up vibrations in the ground, detecting even the slightest movement. In the wild, this allows them to find their prey and acts as an early warning system for predators. However, what we are talking about is a far cry from the wild cats of the plains. There are no predators and there is no prey to hunt in the hooman house (well maybe the odd mouse).
Our home-based feline friends have evolved from their old ways and invented some very creative methods of using their paws to discover the 'inside world'. This ranges from gentle taps to see how heavy an object is, to paw bumps with their hoomans, to full on slap attacks and everything in between. It is a wild variety of actions, carried out in the most cat-like fashion.

"They fell asleep mid cat tap"
Seen here as both a sign of affection and rejection, the cat tap can even last well into nap time and beyond. It is their way of expressing their temperament, which as we know tends to lean to the side of rejection and judgement but occasionally turns into that warm, loving fluff ball we cannot resist.

"Down on your knees, my servant!"
Now this hooman knows his place and as does his cat. This king of kitties is offering a gentle reminder of how things should be in the hooman - cat world. We are but simple servants of the feline species, and it would do us well to remember that (and to carry more treats)
