I'm sure you noticed that we used to tap the paw, yes, many times even you get scared when out of nowhere "pum" !

As we are prey , we have to invent tricks to be able to communicate without being noticed and it has been over many generations that this technique has been improved, because it is very important to be able to warn our family of the danger ,

Tapping the paw works as a warning, in nature we live in burrows under the ground and when we up at the surface it becomes difficult to communicate with those who stayed at home, so when we tap the paw we create vibrations that cross the land and arrive to our house , thus alerting those inside that there is danger outside. When we are outdoors when we feel the vibration or hear the tapping of the paw we also know that there is danger somewhere and our predators just hear a tapping, it could have been a falling stone, a branch of a tree ... anything, you know ?

So, when you hear us tapping, it's because something is going on and we are warning you of the danger, we may also be saying that we are not enjoying what you are doing , but as a general rule it´s because there is some danger eminent.
