Transitions through the transitory cat stance at these points in Short Form Two is commonly referred to as "V" stepping. It gets this name because of the shape that is made during the execution of the step. There are two trains of thought on whether to execute a "V" step at these points in the form - the for and against. For a detailed look at the pro's and con's of executing Short Form Two with a "V" step refer to the Execution of Short Form Two - Various "Standards" section of this book.
