I love this video and I just love the way cats trot. It's so bouncy, stealthy, graceful and carefree all at the same time. You captured the movements of this little tabby girl so well. She reminds me of my little angel with her white socks and graceful moves.
Cats are ,without a doubt the most Graceful and Beautiful creature God ever Created ! they are all the same from the smallest house Cat to the Greatest Lion or tiger ! A Puuurfect piece of work !
Actually the LORD God is the Creator of all things: seen and unseen; from the atom to the expanse of the universe. Mankind hates this because he wants to be his own god. So he comes up with lies to comfort himself....evolution, mother nature, etc.
@@The-GreenHornet no one wants you to force your religious bullcrap onto other people susan. your the kind of person that hands out not toothbrushes, BUT FLIERS FOR YOUR STUPID CHURCH on halloween. hope you have a crappy day and i hope you look back at this and realize what a freaking jerkwad you are
I know this is a few years old and you might not see this comment, but in case you do, thank you very much. This is an invaluable resource for an aspiring animator. Thank you for developing the cinematography skills and training your lovely cat and sharing those things with us.
Cats are, beautiful, elegant and classy and it stands out even more in slow motion. Notice that if the cat is not running, it places its back paws exactly where the front paws were. I love cats.
i love those jumps where they perfectly judge the hind leg position at the peak of the jump like in the first clip. It really is a thing of beauty. Such graceful animals.
Great vid - thanx for sharing! Our cat (also a tabby) busted his leg a while ago and your video was really helpful to assess how a cat should be running at various speeds. From the transition between a run (not trot) to full-throttle I could see a clear difference in the timing of the paws hitting the ground and this confirmed that our cat is running as he should be. I was a bit concerned about him as he seemed to run a bit awkwardly but I can see now that this is normal for fast running (but different to flat out when both back paws are hitting the ground together) Thanx again!
Thank you so much! I really want to sketch out some running, walking, jumping, etc to get a feel for how cats move. You are helping a lot more than you may think! I do have a cat of my own but these slow mo videos help better some times!
Good looking tabby, I like the spotted sides. I had this great big male with concentric rings I miss the little bugger. Someone spirited him away from my farm where he had a magical existence and kept me company for over 9 yrs:-(
Just imagine the body control needed for that. Cats are amazing. I came to see how they channel power from the back muscles. And yea. Thank you for making the perfect reference vid. Like many comments say. Artists needed this =)
Skipped because of precision. You can see how precise they are to jump up. They never step on anything so it was probably a calculated skip to avoid stepping on something later.
This video is just what I needed to help me illustrate a story about my bad cat Lincoln. No I understand how cats move in different situations. Thank you!
It's amazing how high cats can jump from a standing position. Compared to their height, a human would probably have to jump to the 2nd floor to match a cat.
You weren't going fast enough for the cat to sprint or go full speed, it only ever galloped fast, it never sprinted. The closest the cat got to a full sprint was at 5:58, where it started sprinting, but not for long enough to reached full speed. An interesting detail is that the cats back paw will step where the paw in front of it just stepped, this means that the back paw does not need to crush down any leaf litter or snow meaning that they will get traction faster, and will allow the cat to the be sure that the location where its paw will step is stable, and they will already know the conditions of this spot, allowing them to adjust their stride in advance, allowing them to be very stable and avoid missteps. This behavior is present in both walking and trotting, but I do not believe it is present in galloping or sprinting. I also have a theory on why the cat skipped a step at 6:24, because it would have landed on the transition between 2 different types of terrain, making it hard to predict the step, so the cat opted to adjust the gait to skip the step altogether to avoid tripping or potentially interrupting their gait in an unpredictable way. Also at 7:38, the cat was not cross eyed, that was the cats 3rd pair of eyelids (which move horizontally) opening. many animals have this 3rd eyelid, in fact humans have the vestige (what remains of something but no longer serves a purpose) of the 3rd eyelid in the medial corner (closer to your nose) of the eye (a lot of people think this is the tear duct, it is not).
Impressive camera work. i hope we get to see the rig in more detail. Now, I must confess that I only started watching slo mo to get the video off my subscription unreads. However, from frame one, I was totally captured. I don't know if you have ever seen the Ralf S Bacon channel (an excellent Arduino channel) but his cat (a rescued siamese) actually helps with his narration. Your cat is charming.
You know,,,,, I think it is time for some one to have a cat flying on a RC Plane!!! perhaps an FT Craken... Perhaps to take the cat as a baby kitten.. so it get use to it.. and don't panic... then a cat helmet with cat aviator glasses!! and a red scarf!!! that would be the day!!!
