Consider this:
(You) are an animator, asked to draw ponies for a show.
It would be expensive for you to schlep out of your urban cracker tin in the sky to an open space where horses are available for you to practice drawing.
But (fanfare) you have a CAT!
Hey, it's a quadruped, right?
Basically the same.
I'll just draw ponies moving like my cat!
No one will ever know...
