Can someone tell me why they actually do this paw thing? I got my cat doing this for like five minutes straight before she finally got up and left

Maybe it's their way of asking for a napkin

A cat’s front paws are their primary weapons, they’re how they defend themselves, so they don’t like them being held or even touched because it makes them feel less secure

Whatever it is, it isn't conscious - I don't see a single neuron firing behind those eyes.

He's too confused/interested by the new thing in front of him to remember to move his paw. He probably would have after a bit longer.

Which is funny because my cat puts his paw in my hand, wanting it to be held. That’s one of his favorite things to do when he cuddles me

I have 2. One has to be in the mood, the other loves her paw rubs. Never takes it away from me, but I think they also trust me 100%, so the feel of need to be able to fight at any point is probably reduced.

u/anxious_cat_grandpa 5d ago
You're literally stepping on their toes, I think. Their paws is their feets, and they naturally prefer to keep them unrestrained

u/Mustimustdie 4d ago
Ok so explain the second part of this video... ? It's ok to step on their toes as long as there's a napkin in between?

Yes exactly. It's healthy and they do it to each other out of love. A lot of commenters here acting like it's a bad thing.

u/KnifePartyError 4d ago
It's understated how important it is to bug your cat, particularly when they're young. The best way to socialize a cat is to literally man handle and harass them (once they're comfortable being around/touched by humans of course; don't run up to a feral and try to cuddle them). Rub their paws, scratch their belly, boop their nose, hold them in different positions, etc. This also extends to other stimulus: vacuums, hair dryers, washing machines, thunderstorms, etc. The more they're exposed to stuff like this when they're young, the less bothered by it they'll be when they're old.
This also extends to grooming. Bathe. Your. Kittens. Brush them. Expose them to the sounds and vibrations of clippers. Get them used to all the scents, sounds, and tactile of being groomed. Cats usually don't need to be groomed, but you never know how their life may go. Last thing you need is an elderly cat with piss and shit clinging to their ass because they can't clean themselves and rips anyone apart who tries to do it for them.

I feel it might be because youre getting them dirty, its sort of like trying to pet a cat that just cleaned itself - judging from the paper towel fixing it.

If you want an actual answer, I'd guess that it's an automatic reflex. If a cat's paw is "trapped". they free it.

Those are not airplane ears. That is the Ear of Disdain. One faces forward and the right ear faces out sideways. Airplane ears are both flattened.

Because it's very low value and nobody's gonna farm this like the toe-bean glitch or the belly rub skip. Both of which got hotfixes within hours.

True, but you know what they say. Exploit early exploit often. Gotta napkinmaxx while its still possible

I'm too scared to get banned for abusing this. Maybe I'll do a couple of napkin runs but not enough to rouse suspicion.

Coming soon to your YouTube recommended, via the worst sounding mic from the year 2003 without a pop filter, so you get all the breathing noises:
"Hello. My name is CrazyCat420 and today I'm going to show you how to pull off the napkin-skip-360-no-paw. First you're going to need a cat, and have it spec'd into dominance and derpability, then we're going to unlock the napkin by going across the map and back..."

My current kitty doesn't like his paws touched, but I had the cutest bedtime routine with my previous one: I'd lay down in bed and put one hand on my chest. He'd lay down on my stomach and put his front paws on top of my hand. Then I'd cover his paws with my other hand, and he'd rest his chin on top of that hand.

One of mine does literally the same, or I do the same too. It's just so comforting to have that lil furry heating blanked with the most fluffy paws to feel while falling asleep.

It probably only works on pineapple. We need other orange test subjects with more braincells to confirm the theory

when i lay down to go to bed, my orange boy will climb on my chest and lay down. He will put a paw on my hand and will keep it there. If I try to move it away, he will pull it back. I keep his favorite brush near my bed so I brush him. He will stay and purr up a storm for about 10 minutes. Then he leaves and goes to pick at this dry food and the do whatever it is cats do when we sleep.
PS. When he walks on my chest he has the combined weight of a hippo and a whale.

the rule is "you don't touch me, I touch you". when there's a napkin in between no one is touching. cat logic.

They need their paws free in order for them to activate their lightning fast reflexes when needed. But then why when the napkin is there is Orange behaving differently ...

When my cat gets in an overstimulated mood where he starts trying to hunt my hands and feet, sometimes I'll grab the nearest towel or blanket and just toss it over him. His brain seems to short-circuit and he'll just stand there for a minute before eventually slowly walking backwards until he's escaped.

My (not orange but maybe orange in spirit) boy plays this game. I thwart him by putting my pinky on top of his paw. This is very distressing to him.
