Jaunty Cat Walk

1.4 seconds, 27 frames (13 unique ones), no sound

Edit: I made a new one that actually looks like a cat skipping

This cat is just happily walking along, probably humming a little kitty tune. . . in a very weird, staggering sort of way.

Originally, I was going to make it skip, but that's kind of difficult for me, seeing as how it has four legs and I've never animated a skip before. So I just wound up settling for this happy, head-swinging walk thing. I'll have to try animating skipping again later. I'm really happy with the tail, though!
