Dragging


Moli seems to have a habit of throwing herself onto the floor, lying on her side and dragging herself sideways across my livingroom carpet It's mainly when she's been playing she does it.

She looks really comical but have no idea why she's doing it. Anyone any ideas?

Re: Dragging


Think it's just a fun thing cats do Nae
It may progress to lying on her back under any beds you have with floor clearance and then scooting along by digging her claws into the mattress (which is over her head) and 'walking' the whole length....at greater and greater speed
