No, but people saw the cats with a big striped tail eating with it paws and started the raccoon stories

Funny you mentioned the purring all the time even at the docs. My Sasha does that too.

Ok here goes....

LOL that's so cute, Merlin won't do this with wet food though, his paws are so furry that I think the wet would mat up his fur between his toes. I can't put a bowl of water down though he thinks it's his own personal swimming pool and splashes all the water out. I use a cat fountain for my boys.

All three of my boys eat with their paws, then again they have their dinner on plates on the coffee table .......

Hehe... El Monto catches treats between his front paws and then eats them from his paw. I must make a little movie one day. Looks ever so cute.

Maine coon doesn't, but her mate Mr Mumble does and he will dip his paw into water and lick it too - so cute to watch!
