Why cats can walks so quiet?

Cats can walk quietly due to their unique skeletal structure and specialized paw anatomy. Their paw pads are soft and help absorb sound, while their retractable claws allow them to keep their claws sheathed when walking, preventing noise. Additionally, their flexible spine and toe arrangement enable them to move with a stealthy, graceful gait, making them effective hunters. This combination of features allows cats to approach their prey silently.
