ON THE CATWALK

Until the development of photography, no one was really certain just how animals walked. In 1885 Eadweard Muybridge published the definitive work Animals in Motion, which included a series of photographs documenting the walk of many different animals, including the cat. Click on the animation to see the cat leap. |
