\"\"<\/a>Veterinarian Stefanie Schwartz of the Veterinary Neurology Center in Tustin, Calif., developed a method of testing pets to determine whether they are right- or left-paw dominant. It is a series of dexterity tests that can determine which paw is dominant. A previous study suggested that 50% of cats are right-paw dominant, 40% left-pawed, and 10% ambidextrous, while another study showed dogs were equally right- and left-pawed. The Daily Mail (London)<\/a> (8\/28)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is your pet right or left-handed? The DIY test that uses cheese, sofas and\u00a0 the backdoor to find out… but you have to do it 100 times<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever wondered which paw your pet would clutch\u00a0 a pen with, should it develop opposable thumbs?<\/span><\/div>\n

Quite possibly not. But if you have, this\u00a0 could be just the thing you’ve been waiting for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Stefanie Schwartz of the Veterinary\u00a0 Neurology Center in Tustin, Calififornia<\/span>,<\/span> claims to\u00a0 have developed a test to figure out whether a dog or cat is right or\u00a0 left-handed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paw preference won’t make a dog or cat walk,\u00a0 talk or wink like a human. You won’t even get a high-five or a fist pump out of\u00a0 it. But vets and owners <\/span>reckons the\u00a0 curiosity factor will have pet owners clamoring to find out if theirs is a\u00a0 leftie or a rightie.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Results are in: Veterinarian Christina Thompson performs\u00a0 a right-handed-left-handed test with a Chihuahua dog<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Researchers are studying things like right\u00a0 brain-left brain connections, genetics and sexual orientation that may one day\u00a0 change the way dogs and cats are bred, raised, trained and used, said\u00a0 Schwartz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some horses have to be ambidextrous, said Dr.\u00a0 Sharon Crowell-Davis, a behavior and anatomy professor in the College of\u00a0 Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n

In U.S. racing, horses only have to lean left\u00a0 because all races are run\u00a0 counterclockwise on tracks, but in some competitions\u00a0 and in some other\u00a0 countries, horses have to race and canter both ways. <\/span><\/div>\n

‘They have to be able to circle right and\u00a0 left. If not, they can trip,’\u00a0 Crowell-Davis said. ‘You have to work to get them\u00a0 to take the lead they\u00a0 prefer less.’<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Leftie: A cat lifts his left leg during a\u00a0 right-handed-left-handed test<\/div>\n

She has never seen an advertisement promoting\u00a0 right or left-pawed dogs or\u00a0 cats. ‘The only time you see it used in advertising\u00a0 is with horses. If a horse if being offered for sale, because of issues on the\u00a0 lead, it may\u00a0 say ‘Works well on both leads’ to emphasize the horse has had\u00a0 training.’<\/span><\/p>\n

For dogs and\u00a0 cats their well-being doesn’t\u00a0 depend on preference. <\/span><\/p>\n

A 1991 study at Ataturk University in Turkey\u00a0 showed 50 per cent of cats were right-pawed, 40 per cent were left-pawed and 10\u00a0 per cent were ambidextrous. That study might be out-of-date, Schwartz said, but\u00a0 it does provide percentages.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 2006 study from the University of\u00a0 Manchester in England showed dogs were split half-and-half.<\/span><\/p>\n

About 90 per cent of humans are right-handed\u00a0 and 10 per cent are left-handed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here kitty kitty: Dangle a toy in front of a cat and see\u00a0 which paw it uses to bat it<\/div>\n

Laterality \u2014 the textbook term meaning one\u00a0 side of the brain is dominant over the other \u2014 may someday help breeders predict\u00a0 which puppies will make the best military, service and therapy dogs, Schwartz\u00a0 said, and that could be lifesaving.<\/span><\/p>\n

But for now, if you care enought, Schwartz\u00a0 has a series of tests that she says will determine the paw preference of your\u00a0 pet, when performed 100 times. <\/span><\/p>\n

She suggests <\/span>filling\u00a0 a toy with something delicious and\u00a0 putting it in the center of the dog’s visual\u00a0 field. Which paw does it use to touch the toy first? Which paw does the dog use\u00a0 to hold the toy?<\/span><\/p>\n

Coy: When a cat really wants something, tests show it\u00a0 uses its dominant paw, but when it’s just fooling around, it may use either or\u00a0 both<\/div>\n

Or you could <\/span>put\u00a0 something sticky on a dog or cat’s nose and take note of which paw it uses to\u00a0 remove it? <\/span>Place a treat or a piece of\u00a0 cheese under a sofa, just beyond a dog or cat’s reach, she says. Which paw does\u00a0 it use to try and get it out?<\/span><\/p>\n

Other indicators include which paw a dog\u00a0 offers to shake when asked or knock the backdoor with when it wants to be let\u00a0 in. Similarly for cats you can track which paw it uses to bat a dangled toy or\u00a0 to reach a treat lurking under a bowl. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Who’s a good boy? Ask a dog to shake hands and see which\u00a0 paw it raises<\/div>\n

Schwartz said there are a few things that\u00a0 might alter test results, including that i<\/span>f a dog has arthritis or an injury in a shoulder or\u00a0 leg, it could use the other to compensate.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a cat really wants something, she said,\u00a0 tests show it uses its dominant paw, but when it’s just fooling around it may\u00a0 use either or both.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it is also possible that handedness in\u00a0 dogs, and maybe cats, will change over time as the animal’s motivation\u00a0 changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robin A.F. Olson, founder and president of\u00a0 rescue organisation Kitten Associates Inc, said her cats are always reaching for\u00a0 toys or treats with one paw or another.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I try not to be judgmental of my cats’\u00a0 abilities or lack thereof. We will never worry about the anti-paw.’<\/span><\/p>\n

It appears that Nora, an internationally\u00a0 acclaimed 8-year-old piano-playing tabby from Philadelphia, owned by piano\u00a0 teacher Betsy Alexander and her artist-photographer husband, Burnell Yow, is\u00a0 right-pawed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yow studied her videos and ‘determined that\u00a0 she appears to lead with her right paw, then follow with her left,’ Alexander\u00a0 said.<\/span><\/p>\n

But she has her ambidextrous, headstrong\u00a0 moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘She uses both paws to reach for specific\u00a0 notes, even black notes … and she uses her head to roll a series of multiple\u00a0 notes.’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Burning question or a waste of\u00a0 time? How to find out if your pet is a leftie or rightie<\/h3>\n
\n

If you teach a dog to shake, which paw does\u00a0 it offer you first and most often?<\/span><\/p>\n

Fill a toy with something delicious and put\u00a0 it in the center of the dog’s visual field. Which paw does it use to touch the\u00a0 toy first? Which paw does the dog use to hold the toy?<\/span><\/p>\n

Put something sticky on a dog or cat’s nose.\u00a0 Which paw does the animal use to remove it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Place a treat or a piece of cheese under a\u00a0 sofa, just beyond a dog or cat’s reach. Which paw does it use to try and get it\u00a0 out?<\/span><\/p>\n

Dangle a toy over a cat’s head. Which paw\u00a0 does it lift to bat it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Put a treat under a bowl. Which paw does the\u00a0 cat or dog use to move it?<\/span><\/p>\n

When a dog wants in the backdoor, which paw\u00a0 does it ‘knock’ with?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
