slinkier

More slinky, catlike

Slinkier is the comparative form of slinky—more gracefully sinuous, more suggestively smooth in movement or fit.

A dress can be slinkier than another; a cat's movements slinkier than a dog's.

The word carries connotations of seductive elegance: She chose the slinkier of the two gowns.
