Does this mean the cat can 'bat' at something faster with it's dominant paw? For example: if the cat is going after a mouse...does the mouse stand a better chance of getting away if he/she/it always stays to the side of the cat that is NOT dominant?

So, in the case of a right-pawed cat...the mouse should always be heading to the left when it skitters across the kitchen floor. Not to the right.

Then again, how would the mouse really KNOW this information about the cat? All the mice I've seen, spend their time under the refrigerator or in a cupboard or other odd, out-of-the-way place. And so they don't really see the cat for very long. At least long enough to know its correct 'paw'. I think this needs a bit more research before I'm throwing all in behind this particular Cat Fact.
