One child (A) stands a distance of about 20' from the stone the other (B) strikes the cat with the tip and off it goes in the air. If A succeeds in catching it B is out, if not A throws it and tries to hit the tip which is placed about a foot from the stone. If he strikes the tip B is out, if not B tips the cat 3 times and then measures the number to tip lengths back to the stone. The game continues until a certain number is reached.
