Another paw and leg, clawed, scrabbled through the window.

I saw the cat's legs scrabble frantically as he lost his grip.

Its legs scrabbled in the air as it made a terrible pierced-boiler squawking sound.

Then my legs scrabbled at empty air and I had reached the end.

He crashed down, slid along, contrived somehow to flip over, his legs scrabbling on contact with earth and snow.

Its hind legs were now scrabbling for purchase on the pedestal.

The others were sitting on the shell; its short legs scrabbled in futility.

For a moment he hung, his legs scrabbling for a foothold.

He felt arms and legs scrabble to no avail.

His short legs scrabbled helplessly for a moment on the debris as he tried to stand.
