He then lifted up his cat and withdrew into their home after photographing the paw print. But how did it get there? It could be as I described above or it might be that the owner (the photographer?) picked up his cat and placed the left paw into the snow.
So we can confirm that this is the left forepaw print of a domestic cat. The reason? So they can get a purchase on the ground because they do all their hunting at high speed and need that purchase and grip.Ĭat claw anatomy showing the protrusible cat claw. The exception to this is the cheetah whose claws are not protrusible. So the claws always stick out and so they make a mark on the ground whereas a cat’s claws are raised off the ground and therefore don’t leave a mark or they might leave a faint mark. It seems to me that dog paw prints nearly always leave claw marks because their claws are not protrusible (retractable if you like). The first question I had was whether this was a dog or cat paw print. If the picture is genuine then it is saying that a domestic cat peered through the open patio doors at the snow and wanted to investigate because snow is generally quite interesting to domestic cats placed one forepaw (it looks like the left paw) and then decided against it and retreated back into the warmth of the home. So I think that it’s a very neat title because the word “short” implies the very short journey that this cat made into the snow. The person who uploaded it to simply titled it, “A Short Story”.
I’m going to see whether I can get to the truth of this cat picture without a cat in it.
