Have you ever noticed that cats move in a "footprint"?
That is, when walking with their hind legs, they stand on the tracks left by their front legs.
We explain why cats walk like this.
Why do cats walk like that?
Cats follow the tracks mainly in the wild or in new territory.
When hunting and exploring an area, a cat must move very quietly so as not to frighten the prey or become it.
Therefore, the cat first steps carefully with its front paw, and if nothing crunches under it, it places its back paw in the same place.
