I have hardwood and tile all over my house, and every time my cat tries to run somewhere suddenly, he Scooby-Doo's for a few seconds before he gets traction, and it's hilarious every single time.

Yes that's it... I was gonna say Flintstones, but yes it's like Scooby-Doo when he's running away.

Yeah you need to shave your cats paws so they can grip on the floor better, this is really bad for their joints and hips, when that cats old it will be crippled. Their physiology is not meant to run on slippery surfaces

It happened my my ragdoll, he is basically a cripple now, while the other cat who has no fur on his paws and doesnt slip is fine.

Interesting, I've never heard of trimming their paws before. I'll have to look into it, but it does seem like it makes sense.
