You might be able to turn off or limit the influnace of some rotations for the spine by going into the hierarchy tab and having a peak at its options, but nope I don't think there is a way inside of CAT to get independent hip rotation that doesn't influence the rest of the…
This is a common issue when animating and can easily be fixed by lowering the centre of gravity. In Catmotion you can do this procedurally in the Cat window, or just manually tweak the pelvis bone in your rig.

I think I'm going to allocate 2-3 months to crash coursing animation. Does anyone know how to prevent the spine and neck from swaying left and right when rotating the hip on a…
I say this because I was once in your place... CAT is pretty decent and very flexible, but you do give up some freedom in order for the system to function, it's that way with all automated rigging solutions. There always have to be rules for a procedural motion system like that to work. It's nearly impossible to design an…
