Do your cats stand up/perch like prairie dogs?

My one kitten, Dodger, likes to sit on the floor with his front paws in the air, kind of like a perching prairie dog. I’ve never seen this in any of the other cats I’ve ever had…Does any one else have a cat who does this?

I have one male cat that has done this since we got him. he does it most often when the dog gets treats. He sits under the dogs jaw and tries to intercept the treats as they are directed at the dogs mouth.
yep. i think thats a pretty normanl cat thing. lol
I don’t have a cat currently, but I have seen plenty of cats in that pose. It’s usually something you see kittens do because they are even more flexible than adult cats.
all cats have their little quirks, that is just his! if he does it when he is near you a lot and kinda looks up at you he maybe asking for attention!
as he gets older he will probably do it less and less.
Yes, among the hundreds of other wonderful and amusing things that they do
Our Brucie does this all the time. We call him little bear, it’s so freakin’ cute.
I have four, and they all have unique personalities. And yes, I also have one that loves to do this.
I’m not sure it’s a natural instinct so to speak as only one out of four do it. Speaking of my house, not the average of all cats… LOL
My cats and myself watch a lot of Animal Planet, so I’m not so sure if they are not learning from TV..
i have a cat that does the exact same thing but once perching she waves her front paws up and down..we call it her little dance..cutest thing ever!
My cat will be three this year and always perches like this. I like to call her gopher when she does this, it’s the Canadian Prairie name of prairie dogs.
Jennifur does this when she is watching the lizard tank.
My little kitten does all the time. I’m trying to train him to do it on command.
Wish me luck!
