Not a bad topic of discussion for me. Feet have never been much of a consideration for me in conformation but I have never had a dog with feet issues either.
I do notice them. Especially as puppies and I like a cat footed dog also. I see a lot of leopard dogs with them.
 One thing I have noticed about a cat footed dog is that their feet grow “with them” from a pup and not “into” them. They never seem to be clumsy at any stage in their growing either. You can really see the difference in the “6 months and under “puppy bays at the bayings. The pups that are very agile and quick at that age are almost always cat footed.
HogsGoneWild had a pup named Sasha that was cat footed and quick as lightning from the get go. That is the way it has been with the cat footed pups I have raised also.
As long as dogs feet fit their body when they are grown and don’t hinder or impede their hunting ability, I don’t  worry about them but maybe I should.
