LOL, Tink, have you ever read "Cats of Punchbowl Farm"? There was a cat in that book that did the same thing: hold up the poorly paw when sympathy was required ... but after several years had lapsed she would hold up ....... the wrong paw!!

There s really not a lot you can do when you have a "fighter" is there ? My Smudge bless him, constantly fighting any other male cat, constant yowling outside, constant bites, constant vets, one day he came in white chest soaked with blood - such panic. I thought he had been shot. Smudge was calmly cleaning his paws. Son said its a bite wound. Vets said it was so deep in his chest cavity it might have even affected his heart!! Took him back the next day for further check up and he was yowling to go out within 24 hours. He never learned. He certainly used his nine lives up. Jan x

Dylan's ben after the sympathy vote recently

His paw is pretty much healed up now, but Dylan is still trying to convince us his paw is still hurt

Thing is, he holds up the wrong paw

He'll start off lifting up one paw, then he'll suddenly think "or was it this paw?" and change over paws

It didn't stop him hunting a baby rabbit and deciding it was good to eat yesterday evening though DM
