Is that a three legged cat?
Cats use a "direct register" walking style, which means they put their hind foot down in exactly the same spot their forefoot on the same side just was. This cat is walking forward and lifting up their left front paw so we would expect the left rear paw to be reaching forward for that spot and out of view from this angle.

Have 2 cats and never knew this. Thanks for the knowledge!
No, it's got 4 legs, though one of them is sticking out at a weird angle. And it didn't appear to have a tail.
