26 Posts Pausing to Praise Paws and Claws Every Step of the Way

Forensic work fascinates us, there's no arguing about that. Every investigative series draws us in, letting us feel part of the action. But let's face it, no matter how much the screenwriters try, we will only understand partially how the detectives reach their conclusions through inspection of the footsteps. Most of the criminals will probably throw away their shoes after crime-ing, won't they? It's Criminal 101.

However, animal footsteps are much easier to recognize. True, every now and then, depending on your whereabouts, you'll see a surprising shape, but most of the paws and claws pretty much give themselves away. Especially with your pets. It's not uncommon to find a punkish paw print in the pie or muddy mark on the mat. The problem is that having an immediate suspect won't give us much more than a shamed look and a loving lick. But every now and then we get to act as detectives, tracking the steps to the source. In the rare cases of unrecognizable footprints, the best thing is to upload them online and receive crazier and crazier assumptions, aliens included.

For all of you who have a craving for detective work, and TV isn't sufficient, we have here for you some impressive footprints, some of them very easy to detect, and some might make you think twice. And if it's too easy, just enjoy the cuteness of inhuman footprints. They really are awwdorable.

In the same way Hemingway managed to write a whole story in 6 words, this photo retells the whole situation in a split second. We imagine this cutest of cats, tired of sleeping and cuddling, curious to see the world outside of these walls, and after a long wait for someone to open the door for him, stepped out. And that was that.

Footprints tell us stories from the road that led to the dirtying process. If we choose to look at the pawsitive side of paws, life would be much easier.
