This month’s cat vocabulary is the word paw. Cats usually have four to work with. They tend to fall and flip themselves over to land on all four. Or however they do it. Once I saw Sir Socks jump over me as I was lying on a twin sized bed to see him just before he landed in a half sitting half standing position that cats do. His fur was blown back by the wind.
He was always quite graceful whenever he jumped. It’s amazing to watch him in action.
