How to calculate Fast CAT points
The Fast CAT formula: divide 204.545 by the run time in seconds and round the speed to two decimal places. Multiply that speed by the height handicap to estimate run points.
- Under 12 inches
- ×2
- 12 to under 18 inches
- ×1.5
- 18 inches or taller
- ×1
Height is measured at the withers (top of the shoulders).
A worked example
A 15-inch dog runs the 100 yards in 8.50 seconds.
- Speed: 204.545 ÷ 8.50
- 24.06 mph
- Points: 24.06 × 1.5
- 36.09 points
Five runs like this one add up to a BCAT.
Fast CAT titles at a glance
Three titles, earned by adding up the points from every run.

| DCAT | 500 | 20 |
| FCAT | 1,000 | 40 |
| FCAT2, FCAT3… | Every 500 more | 20 more each time |
