'Handedness'

Are your pets right or left-handed? Have you ever noticed/thought of it?
I know that Chester (cat) is very left-handed and, according to this interesting article, which gives a lot of information on the subject, that makes him "normal" Amazing!

Interesting article Dinahsmum. Hatti is definitely right-handed but left-handed when shaking a paw! No matter how hard I've tried to teach her to shake paw with her right she won't so have given up!

Cassie always dips her right paw into her water bowl and if she wants my attention she jumps up onto my lap and taps me with her right paw...

Leia (cat) seems to use both equally. Whichever is closest to what she's reaching for.
