The front legs work very well as a cycle as opposed to the back. The back legs seem to need a few inbetweens near the end of the cycle. Instead of a nice fluid movement, the back legs instead seem to just simply switch places, creating a hop. I would say there needed to be at least 2 more inbetweens to fix this problem.

4th Cycle
Below is my 4th attempt at a cat walk cycle and you can see a lot of improvements. There is a lot more squash and stretch in the movement that makes it feel more like a cat's walk rather than a general quadruped walk. The head also feels a lot more like part of body where in the previous one it seemed to have a life of it own. The tail also has a look more fluidity although it does grow slightly as the animation progresses.
