CAT Rig keyframing issue.
polycounter lvl 5
Hi, I hope all are in good spirits.
I'm having problems with a model with a cat rig in 3ds max, which I'm having a hard time overcoming. I've googled it but not found the same problem (maybe I'm just using the wrong queries).
I've set up a mesh with a skin modifier and cat rig, with envelopes correctly set up with proper weights. I can move the leg platforms around and there's no issues, but when I try to animate it on the timeline it wont create keyframes. This is the first mesh I've taken to completion using the cat system as I don't usually animate, so I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to this. I tried creating a new animation layer in the motion panel, but this does nothing much. I have attached some screenshots and a videos to demonstrate the issues.

The second problem (most likely related to the first) is if I try to animate the cat parent, I get weird distorting happening. It creates keyframes but the entire mesh doesn\t follow it. It just sort of drags parts with it.

Here is what the cat parent rollout looks like in the motion panel:
I tried to create an animation layer which didn't help.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
