Is there a name for the way a cat keeps their paw lightly on the ground but tips the top of their forearm and knuckles forward? It seems to be a way of giving attitude when they want something and you’re not paying attention.

It kind of looks like this. Still placed on the ground but pitched forward so it pushes out the forearm and bends the toes

I liken it to the way we tap our feet or tap our fingers when we’re in a queue or waiting for something 😂 “attend to me now, lest I unleash my wrath”

Your drawing is really good! I knew instantly what you were referring to when I saw it!

  Thanks! There a very particular motion and weight transfer to the body language. Almost like cocking your hip in annoyance.

  I saw it called a fluffen once in specifically in reference to it showing attitude but I googled that and the results were not that… (nsfw)

    Ah when innocent terms get used by the kink community, every sentence becomes an innuendo 😂
