The type of gait pattern that cats use when walking is called a "direct register". This is a type of gait pattern in which the cat's hind feet land directly in the same spot where the front feet had previously landed.
Cats have a precise method of walking called direct registering. Their hind paws fall inside the place of their forepaws, minimizing noise and visible tracks, while ensuring more stable footing.
