Do cats and dogs have a dominant front paw, left or right? Bonus question: If so, are the statistics for dominance similar to that of humans?

    it is always the right but sometimes he will use the left, but he seems to prefer the right.

    so, it’s NOT always the right?

      Not always, but generally his right more times than not. I was playing with him specifically last night to get him to use the left but he kept using the right.

      I think it depends on his position to me, where he may be comfortable to use his left at some times and that’s when he chooses his left.

      It’s something I just noticed last night so I’m still new to recognizing it as well.

      Edit: ah I see what you mean. I was writing and changing my sentence mid-sentence. Bleh. Sorry for the confusion.
