slinkings
Furtive sneaking motions
Slinkings is the plural of slinking, the act of moving in a quiet, furtive, or stealthy manner.
The word suggests someone trying to avoid notice, often with guilty or predatory connotations: The cat's slinkings through the garden betrayed its hunting instincts.
Multiple instances of such movement, or movements by multiple creatures, constitute slinkings.
