This should appear as an animated GIF

notice...

 

- basic quadruped walk cycle: left back, left front, right back, right front

 

- only brief instants where two feet are both off the ground.

 

- watch either the front pair or the back pair... the trailing foot stays on the ground to push the body forward even after the leading foot has been planted.

 

- overlapping motion of the feet as they fall behind and curl under while they are being pulled forward.

 

- front shoulder visibly sags when it's not supporting weight.

 

- the classic walk up-down motion is more evident in the rear hips which have real ball and socket joints. Cat front legs are just held on with muscle.

 

- cat maintains calm demeanor even while walking on burning sand.
