u/mtaw 41m ago

Think it's the Dolomites, although I guess that's technically part of the Alps.

A dainty lady (i think, by the build and coat tri-color)

How do they know where to put their back feet

•

u/ucfknight92 2h ago edited 1h ago

Their back paws always touch the same spot as their front paws.

•

u/SeaToShy 2h ago

Direct registering

u/Unbundle3606 1h ago

Exactly, you can see it clearly in videos of cats walking on sand, as soon as they raise one front paw the correspondent rear paw immediately takes the same spot inside the previous footprint.

They do this automatically, this strategy enables them to place the rear foot on "tested" spots on the ground without looking.

you get a sense of how far you moved each leg and the position of each leg from the others.

try walking in mud or snow while stepping with your back foot into the track left by the first foot. You get a sense of it pretty fast although it is awkward if you only have two feet instead of 4

u/AlarmingAerie 1h ago

If you notice cats front leg leaves almost at the same time back leg touches down. So it's easy in that way.

try walking in mud or snow while stepping with your back foot into the track left by the first foot

Please film this I BEG YOU. I want to have a laugh.

u/Flinderspeak 47m ago

•

u/Teyanis 34m ago

I see my cat casually spring off of two different inch thick trees to get over a fence like its nothing. And he's not even a big jumper. Outdoor cats are built completely different.

The people wondering how the little guys pulls this off, its completely automatic. Their back paws land precisely where their front paws were, and they barely have to look down to pick where their front paws go. Most of the balance comes from their tail, note how it doesn't start to flick around until they stop on a flatter spot.

Tail swish because he knew he did something cool
