Unfortunately martial artists and tightrope walkers don't operate in
combat conditions, where there is substantial risk of stepping on
nasty things. Granted cat, and presumably Kat, feet are better for
this, but IMHO some sort of footwear would be needed, perhaps with
metal claws to give them some of the abilities they have with bare
feet. There was a discussion along these lines in alt.fan.furry a
couple of months ago.

And does it mean the same thing it does here? :)
