Are your cats "northpaws" or "southpaws"?

This question has been inspired by Cindy's thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...9&page=1&pp=12
Jamie is definitely "right-handed". He uses his right paw to open doors & cabinets, to bat at his toys, and to "hold hands" (he very endearingly wraps the toes of his right front paw around my index finger when he's in a lovable mood). He also pats our faces with his right paw when he wants to show his affection.

Trent is definitly a righty. And his paws are VERY strong! There are times when he will grab the string of a toy we're playing with, and even with the torque of the wand in our hand we have a hard time pulling it from his paw.


Ophelia is also a righty, but she's more ambidextrious. She'll use either paw to play.
