Following from last week's introduction on How to Chase Cats, we covered selection of your cat, colour, attitude and some simple rules.

This week, we take a look at how to chase.
Firstly, it's really important to warm up. A few stretches, head shakes to loosen up the ears and a couple of jaunty laps around the yard should do it.
The Chase is instigated by The Dog. We can't have cats turning up willy nilly expecting a match at all hours of the day and night, uninvited.
It must be conducted before dinner, as cat chasing on a full stomach is not good for the digestive processes.
Secondly, The Dog must initiate the chase, with the cat going first and the dog following.
We will not tolerate the other way around. That's uncool for the dog to be chased by the cat. That's not how it should be, although I've seen some pretty shameless examples of this over the years.
The sporting thing is to first give a loud and enthusiastic bark, announcing that it's ‘game on' and that the cat should get out of the blocks.
Give the cat a sporting head start. Maybe as much as a milli-second, or in Imperial Measures, six inches. This should allow a pursuit within a tail's whiff of the cat's rear suspension.
Thirdly, follow the cat at high speed around the yard, taking care on the corners not to spin out into the fence or plants. The dog may, if necessary take short cuts through the flower patch. A regular, enthusiastic yelping keeps the game lively and lets the cat know that you're in hot pursuit.
If the cat stops for any reason, be on the ready to pull up to an emergency stop. Under no circumstances should the dog catch, nip or eat the cat, as this can get messy and land you in a heap of trouble with the twoleggers and possibly result in injury, depending on the cat's sense of humour level.
If the cat goes up a tree, it is immediately disqualified.
Be aware that cat chasing is fraught with hazards and this column accepts no liability or responsibility for injury or any legal issues arising from Feline Pursuits.
For sustenance, visit my mate Johnny the Aussie Butcher for some great ideas for lamb loin chops.
