http://www.catster.com/answers/question/my_ragdoll_cat_swipes_the_air_with_both_paws_why-53116 My Ragdoll is a year old and sometimes while in a sitting position, she will use both paws to swipe the air, like she is reaching for something with both paws, simultaneously. It looks cute but not sure why she does this. She will reach a little higher than her head, almost like she sees something we don't. en-us Copyright Catster 2013 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:01:09 GMT Wed, May 22nd 2013, 08:01 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Catster.com catsters@catster.com catsters@catster.com http://www.catster.com/answers/question/my_ragdoll_cat_swipes_the_air_with_both_paws_why-53116#answer-152778 She very well could be seeing something you aren't. I don't mean souls from the beyond, but dust motes, little no-see-um bugs, cobwebs sailing on a breeze, or even a ray of sunshine or a shadow. Cats will go crazy over a laser light even though it's just a light and not a bird or a rodent. Lizzie will jump straight up in the air and take off across our home so fast she's just a blur. Nothing is chasing her, but she's "pretending" something is. As long as your Ragdoll is healthy and happy, it's nothing to worry about. It's just....well...she's being "a cat".
