Fast CAT
Fast CAT — short for Fast Coursing Ability Test — is a timed 100-yard dash where a dog runs alone down a straight lane (usually fenced — the premium list says whether the site is enclosed), chasing a white plastic lure pulled ahead by a motorized line. Electronic timers capture the run; the time is converted to miles per hour using a fixed formula, then multiplied by a height-based handicap to produce points toward titles. Dogs run one at a time, off-leash for the sprint, with a handler at the start and a catcher at the finish. The whole thing is over in seven to nine seconds for most dogs.
