Cat walk- An Art of Walking

The 'catwalk' is the long, narrow platform that models use to walk during a fashion show. It is a raised pedestal that extends along the length of the room.

The catwalk is compulsory for any fashion show, because it helps the audience to see the attire of the model clearly, despite being seated at the end of the room.

The reason this platform is called the catwalk is because models need to walk very carefully on it, like a cat. Cats tread lightly, lithely and smoothly, without taking up too much space.

Since the model is expected to walk on the platform in such a manner, the platform came to be called a 'catwalk'. In some places, the catwalk also refers to the way a model walks.
