Are animals lefties and righties?

It is not generally known that just as people are either right-handed or left-handed, cats are either right-pawed or left-pawed. Out of every 100 cats approximately 40 are left-pawed, 20 are right-pawed, and 40 are ambidextrous. These findings contrast strikingly with the human situation where only 10 individuals are left-handed for every 90 who are right-handed.

Right switch switch prefer left right shoulder across to left side switch My results might be slightly screwed. Both my parents are left, so I learned certain things left then picked them up right. I can't throw a ball left handed anymore but I've been using a computer mouse left handed (right hand mouse set up, center finger on primary button) since that's how it was when we got our first pc when I was 6. Actually I recommend people learn to use a computer with their non-dominant hand. It's convenient being able to write notes and browse a website at the same time. The only reason why I picked up right hand mouse was because I kept driving my boss at work nuts until she finally told me to keep my mouse on the right side since others used the computer.

sure they do. they don't write like we do. but some do favor one paw over another. Another interesting fact. Lobsters definately are lefty's or righty's. Take a look at the grocery store tank. Some lobsters have much bigger left or right claws. That's because they favor that claw. It becomes much more muscular.

I believe that dogs and cats are "left or right pawed" as you may notice when asking for a "paw" (in dogs mainly) they will favor one or the other.

Yes, they do. My dog is right handed as evidenced by his consistent use of right arm to reach the ball floating in the pool.
And why not? They are mammals, mammals brains are different yet have similarities, etc.
