Feline Agility -- What is it?

Cat Agility involves leading or getting your cat through an obstacle course. The course consists of Hurdles, Hoops, Weave Pools, and Stairs. Cats enter the ring and are given some time to get use to the ring.

Once a cat gets use to the ring the cat is lead through the course by it's handler ( the handler uses a toy- such a s lure toy). The handler should not touch the cat but can entice or encourage the cat around the course.

The cat is timed during it's run through the course. Timing starts when the cat touches first obstacle and ends when last obstacle is completed. The score is not only based on time but, number of obstacles completed, if the cat completes all obstacles, bonus points are given for seconds under the maximum allowed time of 4 minutes 30 seconds.

Cat Agility events are fun for the whole family. The cats are quite entertaining. Many of the cats will have no problem getting through the course, while others think the object is to put their handler through the course. It all adds up to a good time.

Anyone can enter. The cats can be household cats or even a registered breed. All that matters is an eagerness to try.
