This lateral view of a cat pelvic limb shows two muscles that are present in the cat but not in the dog. The caudofemoralis m. (1) runs from fascia lata to tail vertebrae. The soleus m. (2), which joins the calcanean tendon, is positioned lateral to the gasctocnemius m. (arrow).

Other muscles include: biceps femoris (3), deep digital flexor (4), long digital extensor (5), and cranial tibial (6).
