Cats, Giraffes, And Camels all have one thing In common. They walk in a… very specific way.
According to Purina: ”[Cats’] walking sequence is both right feet first, followed by both left feet, so they move half of their body forward at once.
“Camels and giraffes are the only other animals to walk this way.”
That isn’t the only peculiarity when it comes to the way that cats walk, though. Catster said: “Typically, cats move the front and back legs on each side together when walking.
“Each paw hits the ground at a different point in the stride, which is known as a four-beat gait. Most of the cat’s weight is centered on the front paws while walking.”
Additionally, that dainty little pitter-patter walk that cats do is due to them walking on their toes, as opposed to their whole feet the way that we do.
