I feel like if there’s a sign, this must have happened before. And if it happened before, then this cat should be deathly afraid of doing that.

The hand is orange

It's an orange cat. Of course it has zero sense.

You're assuming it's this kitty's turn for the braincell. They share with others and have to wait their turn to do a think.

I love that people just accept legs as arms based on the application.

Cat Fact time!

So while they 100% have four legs, their forelegs actually are anatomically very different from their backpaws and are anatomically similar to our arms/hands! For example, kitties only have 4 toes on the back legs and 5 on the front, the fifth used for grasping things better and have more bones in their hands than their feet!

Neat! Thanks for that!

Yeah, I was surprised at how dextrous their front paws were having grown up with only dogs. Definitely little hands.

The long arm of the paw!

9 lives, 4 appendages, 1 tail, and zero sense!
