Is it possible for a cat to be left-handed?
I think my cat, Dash, is left-handed. Whenever I’m playing with him, he always uses his left paw.

Cats can be right-pawed (40 percent), left-pawed (20 percent), or ambidextrous (40 percent).
Just like humans, cats can be born with one paw being implemented more for manipulating objects, or they may be ambidextrous, meaning both paws are used in an equal proportion.
Some basic research uncovered the fact that in the cat world about forty percent are considered to have a dominant left paw, due to a dominant right brain hemisphere. This is far greater than the ten percent of humans who are left handed. While ninety percent of the human population are right handed, a mere twenty percent of felines favor their right paw. This leaves about forty percent of cats who use both paws, with no tendency to use one more than the other. Another interesting thing I discovered was kittens generally use both paws. A dominant paw usually isn’t evident until a cat reaches adulthood.

Guess what! My cat does the same thing! He sticks his left paw into things(some things he shouldn’t!), swats at me with his left paw, and licks his left paw to clean himself. Wow! 20%! Good job, catsofmany. You did a great job. You, Kat, Russainbleu, Fluffy, and all the other ‘cats’ that answer properly are the people we need on http://www.cats.com.
