- The middle "net" is the metal bar on the floor that separates the tile in the kitchen from the carpet in the dining room. Carpet side is cat's home side, tile side is biped's home side.
- Ball may be placed into play only by cat.
- Cat may not touch ball when on tile, biped may not touch ball when on carpet.
- Cat gains points for each second biped doesn't notice the ball is in their play (meaning: on the tile).
- Biped gains points for each second it takes cat to retrieve the ball from dining room.
- Cat wins game when biped plays long enough to bore cat. Prize: something else shiny to occupy its attention, or possibly a good self crotch cleaning.
- Biped wins game when ball is accidentally kicked into cat's water bowl, thusly splashing cat. Reward: dirty, offended look from cat.
