Ever had your cats lose flies in their paw fur?

[NekoChan]

My Maine Coon Roxy's paws are so padded with long fur on the bottom, that I've actually seen her pounce on a fly but instead of this killing the fly, it got caught in her paw pad fur and when she picked her paw up again, it flew away out of her paw fur, unharmed! Sometimes she tries to kill flies but her paws are so soft and padded that she just keeps swatting them and it doesn't do them any harm because of all the fur muffling her feet.
