How to achieve cat-like agility?

+0
−0

In my world there human-animal hybrids. My protagonist is a snow leopard-human girl (outwards looks almost completely human, except for the tail). These hybrids have been created through experiments, so there is no evolution in play.

So I can also play around with sci-fi-ish elements (and/or magic). What would be ways for a cat-human hybrid to achieve more agility?

For example, from what I understand, because the spine has to support the skull, it kinda loses flexibility. If these hybrids would be given implants, could it give some flexibility back?

Additional informations:

  • These hybrids vary greatly, a few walk on all fours, others don't, others are digitigrade and so on
  • I'm mostly interested in my main character. She looks and moves like a human, unlike most hybrids she grew up with humans and only at 13 she began to learn about her hybrid side (story takes place 10 years later)
  • Her animal characteristics are tail, eyes and claws, and she's short. And I would like to have also muscles like felines (if it has advantages)
  • I want her to still fit in with humans, but be able to move with more agility, for example climb, jump, sprint...
