Does anyone know of this is a breed specific sorta thing?
Cody is quite large and since he was a kitten he had feet the size of a German Shepard puppy...the type that you KNOW is going to be HUGE when full grown. He's 2 now roughly 20+ lbs. We are a multi-cat home and I have others from his litter, but he seems to be the only one that leaps UP and then jumps forward when he jumps... its sort a like he bounces up then down and forward. Reminds me of a commercial for a video back when animals in the wild videos were being advertised all the time... the fox in the snow, leaps UP and then down on the hole where the rabbit was... something to that effect. I don't know if its his size and he needs to get that back end up to make his final jump or what? We noticed it but never really discussed it until the other night when unknown to me, he decided to jump from the window seat to my abdomen. Pain was horrible and had complication for a week afterwards! But of course, just like they normally do after hurting the ones that love them... he walked off as if nothing happened.
Anyways, this got us wondering if that is a specific breed trait. Any ideas?
