as usual I said my mutt nags well she is now laid with her head in my shoe and breathing really funny ..a sort of hic snort breathe If it was a person you would run and remove head from shoe.

No I will not panic because my shoes are flipflops , but she knows in the past this said breathing has got her some attention.

And NO the flippyflops don't stink cos I washed them today lol

What do the crossed legs mean?

Years ago I had 2 cats, brother & sister, who were very close.
The female suddenly started walking on 3 legs - I was a wee bit worried, but apart from walking on 3 legs - she was eating, her fur was fine etc, I checked her paw and leg - nothing wrong as far as I could see (perhaps she'd sprained it), so I left it for a day or two.
I happened to be looking out of the window the next day, and the little mare was walking along the wooden fence - on 4 legs!!
I called her in, she came through the cat flap on 3 legs.
Every time I saw her out of the window, in the garden, she was on 4 legs, when I went out to join her, she was on 3. I deduced someone wanted attention!!!
This went on for 3 months, until her brother became quite ill with an abcess. She did her usual thing - licking the abcess, i put on bread poultices etc - and lo! her paw became better!!!
She could have cost me a fortune in vet's bills - no doubt x rays and various tests would have been involved etc etc, to find - nothing!!!
