It left some sand transfer on top of the two rocks it hopped on. The little backwater lagoon runs between the rocks and the sand on the other side, not visible in this photo. Two sets of tracks led up to the first rock. The stride varied from 18 to 20 inches when walking. This part of the trail followed open sand until it arrived at a small creek.
Cats like to avoid obstacles like sticks, leaves and debris which can cause noise when stepped on.
They are very careful about where they place their feet. The cat jumped over the small creek and landed in a sand dune. That was where I found the deepest and best tracks. This one of the prints from where it landed. The tracks along the edge of the sand dune.
