SKTextureAtlas gets overridden by declaration of second SKTextureAtlas - swift

Question

Whenever I create and define two variables as type SKTextureAtlas they rewrite each other. Here is my initial creation of my two SKTextureAtlas
class GameScene: SKScene {
var idle = true
var TextureAtlas = SKTextureAtlas()
var TextureAtlasIdle = SKTextureAtlas()
Later on in my code I assign a folder of images to each atlas. If I comment out the second atlas my animation works, but when I define the two as shown below my animation overlaps and plays frames from cat_walk even though it is told to only play cat_idle
TextureAtlasIdle = SKTextureAtlas(named: "cat_idle")
for i in 1...TextureAtlasIdle.textureNames.count{
let Name = "\(i).png"
TextureArrayIdle.append(SKTexture (imageNamed: Name))
}
TextureAtlas = SKTextureAtlas(named: "cat_walk")
This is how I start my cat_idle animation. I don't start the cat_walk animation
aN.run(SKAction.repeatForever(SKAction.animate(with:self.TextureArrayIdle, timePerFrame: 0.1)))
I'm trying to find out why this line of code is causing my two different animations to overlap.
TextureAtlas = SKTextureAtlas(named: "cat_walk")

Texture Atlas is kind of a sprite sheet for your game. Your approach is not right for accessing atlas images for the game. modify your for loop like below:
for i in 0..< 8 {
let texture:SKTexture = TextureAtlasIdle.textureNamed(String(format: "%i", i+1))
TextureArrayIdle.insert(texture, at:i)
}
Every time you access your atlas folder, use this for loop procedure. i have used static 8 number in for loop, it would be your sprites count. There is a simple game called Desert Run in github. please check this out for more clarification.
NB: your cat's images naming must start with 1.png
if you want to run the for loop
