makes sense, at least to me.
>The elbow lands a solid hit that thumps painfully on the toes of the left foot.
makes no sense at all. This move was not rolling around on the ground, this is elbow, shove, circle, weave.
I doubt there is anything that can be done about this. It just looks odd.
You do an incredible backflip with a beautiful twist rotation, gaining nearly five feet of air and landing neatly on your feet without so much as a wobble!

On a four legged creature, to 'elbow the chest' you would either need to be on the ground, or the creature would need to be on its back. Unless the creature stands shoulder height to a person, I suppose, which is not the impression I get with firecats.
So...it doesn't make any more/less sense than doing an elbow drop on the foot.

Yeah, I wish certain maneuvers gravitated to hitting upper body/lower body more based more off of logic. Obviously a jab is probably not going to hit and sever someone's right leg, and yet it happens :P

As far as the elbow to the chest on smaller creature, well, they could be jumping and it would still hurt. Toe hits only make sense on the ground. Just saying.

Obviously the warcat was leaping at you, swiping its claws to rip your face off, and you countered that with an awesome elbow that knocked into his paw and smashed his toes. He probably even lost a bit of balance after that.
I've got it all worked out on a flowchart around here somewhere...
