The Snake and Crane were already available in Shaolin's Five Fist. The reason for using the Cat instead of the Tiger is because the former is less violent in nature it is lighter and agiler in weight and is in compliance with the principle of fighting art.

The monk was not only proficient in many kinds of pugilism but was especially remarkable in the ability of lightness.
