Ok, so I got a few notes asking me how I did this, and I will let you in on a few secrets I used. First of all, I used a few reference pictures/screen shots from an old video I had of my cat Kato walking (He's smaller than the average cat, and kind of pudgy XD), and then I also took out my sketch pad, watched my cats walking around the house, and then speed sketched out the sequences traditionally. Then using those for reference, I sketched out the best walking sequence I could in Photoshop before playing it through to see how smooth it would be. then, improvisation came in handy and I added or took away a few things to make the poses, feet, and other things match up a bit better. (hence why the rough lines look a bit well... rough around the edges) I wasn't really striving for perfection because this was just a second test on animation, but it didn't turn out so bad. It could be MUCH better, and MUCH smoother and more life like, but as I said this was just practice.  Though this may be ok for a 2nd try, I'm not great at this kind of thing, and it took A LOT of time to do, but I think I did all right  Thank you for the feed back, and if you have some helpful hints to send my way, please do I'll need them to help refine this in the future, as well as maybe do a better animation  This took me about 2-3 days to sketch out and complete. I was just messing around XD 32 frames.  I like it though Reference was from photos, as well as watching my own cat/s waking around the house -Enjoy!   -Thanks Comments Amazing! ^__^ You're getting better with every one hun

But this took long enough, I think I may take a break for a bit before I color it XD Thank you  -- Nothing is impossible. Some goals are just harder to achieve than others. XD

The movement is extremely smooth and unhitched. Making the cat look real, you should really color the animation to add more to the realism and impact. And though this is rough, it's still a realistic sketch of a cat. I think that maybe you should add a bit more shoulder movement and tail movement. The tail because whenever I watch my cat, her tail is always moving but maybe that's just her.
Overall, the animation is really smooth and beautiful. I approve of this, so cool
