 * Citation is needed for this piece of information. "Like all felines, they directly register; that is, they place each hind paw almost directly in the print of the corresponding forepaw, minimizing noise and visible tracks".
 * It also appears to be plagiarized from a reddit page.
 * Adult cats walk with a "four-beat gait" meaning that each foot does not step on the same spot as each other while they are walking. Whether they walk fast or slow, a cat's walk is considered symmetric because the right limbs imitate the position of the left limbs as they walk.

Week 6: Cat Anatomy Proposed Edits on Legs Section
"Cats, like dogs, are digitigrades. They walk directly on their toes, with the bones of their feet making up the lower part of the visible leg. All cats are capable of walking very precisely. Like all felines, they directly register; that is, they place each hind paw almost directly in the print of the corresponding forepaw, minimizing noise and visible tracks.[citation needed] This also provides sure footing for their hind paws when they navigate rough terrain. The two back legs allow falling and leaping far distances without injury."

Edit: Cats are digitigrades, which means that they walk on their toes just like dogs and birds that are able to walk. The advantage of this is that cats (including other digitigrades) are able to walk much more quieter and quickly than other animals. Cats are also able to walk very precisely. Adult cats walk with a "four-beat gait" meaning that each foot does not step on the same spot as each other while they are walking. Whether they walk fast or slow, a cat's walk is considered symmetric because the right limbs imitate the position of the left limbs as they walk. A cat's gait can also be compared to a giraffe and camel, as they all walk in a symmetrical form as well.
