Such a little lady

Hi All,

My little Squidget is the princess of the bunch. At least she tries
to act that way. When she's sitting up, with her forelegs straight
and her hind legs folded under her, she will modestly wrap her tail
around her body and let the tip of it cover her front paws. If she's
lying down, but not stretched out, she will cross her front paws. She
almost never goes into the four legged open position on her back, in
fact she hardly sleeps on her back at all.

I'm not sure why I think these are modest, feminine gestures, but she
certainly looks demure sitting or lying there that way. Do you notice
any gestures or postures that you identify with either your male of
female cats?

Regards and Purrs,

AAAWWWWW! All 4 of mine do this, and all 4 are female. Also, when they do
lie on their backs their legs are tucked up with paws folded over.

Hugs,

Mimi was always pulled together like that. Stinky sprawls. I have no
idea whether it was gender-related, or just Mimi and Stinky-related.

I always called Mimi "the no- nonsense cat," and Stinky "the
all-nonsense cat."

I call that one the "elegant" pose. I assumed that both boy and girl
kitties could be elegant, but I've only had one cat - Betty, a lady
cat.
