The above banana peel is about to be scratched into tiny pieces. 🐈

Do Any Animals Show a Preference for Right or Left “Handedness”?

Just as people are either right or left-handed, cats often have a dominant paw preference, which they may demonstrate when they’re reminding you that it’s time to eat or boxing that new feathered cat toy. Researchers at Queen's University Belfast's School of Psychology wanted to know more about this feline behavior, and collected data from 44 cats (24 males and 20 females) of varying breeds, gathered over a period of three months by the animals' owners. They found that the male cats strongly favored their front left paw, while the female cats favored their front right paw.

What it says about your cat:

Researchers were interested in which paw the cats led with when walking down stairs or accessing litter boxes. Each cat was also studied while fishing out treats from a food maze.

About 73 percent of the cats showed a lateral bias when reaching for food; 70 percent displayed a preference when going down stairs; and 66 percent used one paw more prominently when accessing a litter box.

Left-limbed animals, which rely more heavily on the right hemisphere of the brain, tend to display stronger fear responses and aggression than right-limbed animals, which are left brain dominant.

How Do Postal Workers Feel about Cats?

Got a problem with mice? Hire a cat.
 

That’s what London's Post Office did in September 1868, when 🐁🐭🐀 rodents began to overrun its Money Order Office. Three cats were officially hired that year to search and destroy by the Secretary of the Post Office, who decided to see if a feline force could reduce the mouse population. But they didn’t work for free. ;D They were hired at a rate of one shilling per week.

By 1869, it was noted that the post office cats “have done their duty very efficiently,” and their wages were increased to one shilling and six pence.

Of course, these civil servants also earned Royal Mail pensions. Over the next century, a series of hardworking, well-compensated cats would continue to prowl around British post offices.

Their appointed rounds:

🐱 The most famous post office cat had to be Tibs the Great, a 23-pound (10.4-kg) enforcer who kept the Royal Mail’s headquarters mouse-free for 14 years. Tibs died in 1964, fat and happy.

This is not the famous Tibs the Great, but you get the idea  :D

The last crime-fighting kitty at the London headquarters was Blackie, who died in 1984. His death coincided with the postal service’s switch from cloth sacks for mail to rodent-resistant plastic sacks.

🐈 In 2016, an exhibit at the Postal Museum in London paid tribute to these indispensable feline employees with a reverential historical display.

Agelbert NOTE: Plastic is bad for the planet. It's time to go back to Kitty Patrols and cloth bags!
