All cats do that. They place their back feet in the same places the front
feet touched the ground when they walk. Even my old 23lb fatcat walked
like that. One time, I saw him jump to the top of a wood fence that was
only a half inch wide. He walked along the top of that narrow fence about
20 feet to get to a squirrel!

I can't remember the reason cats walk like that on solid ground, but it
sure helps their balance.
