Does Your Cat Cross His or Her Paws?
Caymus, one of my parents’ Seal Mitted Ragdoll cats, always crosses his paws when he lays down. I absolutely love it.
Do your cat cross his or her paws? If he or she does, is it always left over right or right over left? I think Caymus is usually left over right, although I cannot be for sure. Is this Ragdoll cat behavior or just cat behavior?
Please feel free to post it through this link, so I can share it wtih other readers.

Hi, I’m Jenny Dean, creator of Floppycats! Ever since my Aunt got the first Ragdoll cat in our family, I have loved the breed. Inspired by my childhood Ragdoll cat,
Sparkle, my Tonkingese crossed her paws. Patches, the calico, crossed her paws. Annabella, the Ragdoll, doesn’t. I think it looks so cute, like they’re just way cool and relaxed
Of course, Charlie and Trigg are just way cool anyway
i agree! they totally look cool and relaxed!!
Well, if that isn’t the most adorable thing ever! Raina does it rarely, but our neightbor’s cat (a barn cat) does it a lot. Isn’t it precious when Charlie does it?
Charlie rarely does it – but Caymus sure does – that’s Caymus in the photos! He’s a doll! I love that the barn cat does!
I just realized I wrote the wrong name…sorry, Caymus!
Alissa – no worries – of all the cats I know Caymus wouldn’t mind – now, Murphy would have been upset – but not Caymus – not an aggressive bone in his body!! =)
My roommie’s cats used to cross their paws, it was so cute. I always thought they looked as if they were royalty whenever they crossed their paws. The smaller black one crossed his paws and would put his head down and take a short cat nap in that position – this was adorable!!
My Siberian crosses her paws, so I don’t think this behavior is limited to Ragdolls!
Do you have a photo of her that you could post on Floppycats Facebook page?
I have tons, but I’m on my iPad right now. As soon as I’m on a computer I’ll post one. However, Siberians aren’t floppy cats, only Ragdolls and Ragamuffins have that distinction. She is a pretty colorpoint though.
simply not true, I have a Birman and he is a VERY floppy cat. That is where Ragdolls get this characteristic from, It is their relation to the original blue and seal point Birman cats.
My Siamese/Harlequin mix, Bettye, just started crossing her paws about 3 months ago.
She chooses left over right about 90% of the time.
It’s adorable and she looks very comfortable and relaxed.
I’ve owned her for nearly 3 years now and was curious to see her suddenly start this behavior.
Bettye is 12 years old.I also own her mother, Madeleine who does not repose in this manner. So Bettye thought this up on her own.
I was searching on the web for this subject and found you. Thanks.
Yes my cat does this too! He’s a Tuxedo cat, so I always thought it really fit the formal attire of his coat! He does left over right (he’s sitting infront of me right now doing it haha). It’s so cute. I just wonder why some cats do it and some don’t. Either way I just adore it, it’s soooo cute! Your cat’s a cutie omg. Very, very cute!
Have a great day,
