Fast Cat Points Calculator
Fast Cat isn’t your typical feline sport. For those who may not know, Fast CAT® isn’t about cats, Fast Cat is actually designed for dogs! It’s a lure coursing sport where dogs chase a mechanically operated lure, satisfying their natural prey drive in a controlled environment.
To save you the stress of calculating your points, the Fast cat points calculator is here to help you evaluate your canine athlete’s performance.
How the Fast Cat Points Calculator Works
The fast cat points calculator simplifies the process of determining your dog’s Fast CAT® points. Here’s the breakdown:
- Run Time: Enter the time (in seconds) your dog took to complete the course.
- Cat Size: Select the radio button corresponding to your dog’s size category: Under 12 inches, 12 inches – Under 18 inches, or 18 inches and Over. Each category has a specific handicap that factors into the final score.
- Calculate: Click this button to process the information.
The calculator then performs the following calculations:
- MPH (Miles Per Hour): It uses the formula MPH = 204.545 / Run Time.
- Points: It multiplies the MPH by the handicap associated with your dog’s size category (2 for Under 12″, 1.5 for 12″ – Under 18″, and 1 for 18″ and Over).
The final result displayed shows your dog’s speed in MPH and their earned Fast Cat points.

BCAT = 150 points
DCAT = 500 Points
FCAT = 1,000 points ,Multiple = every 500 points
(FCAT2 = 1,500 points, FCAT3 = 2,000 points, etc)
