• WALK_SPEED (about-cats-frames.ts): the cats travel at 85% of one walk frame per 83 ms step, so the walk never skips a frame. withApproach walks to the spot. There is no crouched creep or trot.
• stalk: steps on walk frames and freezes standing, then crouches in place and pounces. The fly chase's crouch holds still. The yarn runs are linear and start from standing.
• LINKS and towards replace BETWEEN. stepFrame routes through at most 2 linked in-between frames, and jump frames show at once.
• Belly Up: the flop's hop is gone, so the roll passes lieside and roll.
• PAUSE_MS is 8 to 25 s. A cat lies down after half its moves when nothing holds it, and never repeats its last move.
• withApproach: drops the never-passed settleBack.
• /about script: 58,002 to 58,368 bytes.
• Known: a stalk pause shows the standing frame. There is no drawing of a standing cat with a paw raised.

Tested: npm run build, typecheck, check. Chromium plus node: about-cats, performance, no-script, motion, headers and image-size, 223 of 223. A 60 fps step of every move: no walk frame skipped at 60, 120 or 144 Hz. The longest slide of a still frame is now 18 px (pounce landing, unchanged from main), against 152 px on main.

Cats motion options. Each preview opens on a phone. Live /about moves frame for frame as it did before #391 and #392, so these change the old motion.

1. Walk on the drawings, this PR (feat: Move the About cats on their drawings, through in-betweens, with long rests. #393): walks at the drawings' pace, in-between frames, rests of 8 to 25 s. +345 B.

2. Calm (feat: Let the About cats only look round or stretch on their own. #396): on their own, the cats only look round or stretch, with long rests, often lying down. +185 B.
   https://design-cats-calm-sinduri-lol.sinduri-g.workers.dev/about/
3. In place (feat: Keep the About cats where they stand on their own. #397): they play where they stand. No leaps, climbs or chases unless picked from the paw. +140 B.
   https://design-cats-in-place-sinduri-lol.sinduri-g.workers.dev/about/
4. One playful cat (feat: Let only Rudra play on his own. #398): only Rudra plays on his own. Minerva and Hela look round or stretch. +59 B.
   https://design-cats-one-playful-sinduri-lol.sinduri-g.workers.dev/about/
5. Press to play (feat: Let the About cats play only when their paw is pressed. #399): they sit or lie down on their own, and one press on a paw plays a trick at once. −2,169 B.

Recommended: 5. It is calm by default and fun in one press, and it is the smallest. It drops the trick list and Rudra's climb.

All five pass the preview check: no console errors or CSP violations, the card opens, the sleep control stops each cat within 5 s, and reduced motion removes the controls.
