Must have been the model for the "cat-running horse" at Paris Olympics opening ceremony!

@wonderofscience Neat how the front paws tell the hinders that the ground is solid enough to push off of once kitty is up to speed.

@wonderofscience An iconic moment in photographic history! Muybridge's groundbreaking work not only captured the fluid motion of a cat but also laid the foundation for modern motion picture technology. Only 20 frames...amazing!
