1. Generally, I would say that you already need to be hidden behind something; a plant pot, a tree, a raised flower bed.
2. Select a target. NEVER choose something that looks like it is more than half your body weight. Mice, squirrels, frogs, birds are perfect (although Pigeons seem to be getting fatter these days). If you are human I would say, don't pounce on anything bigger than a large dog.
Please don't pounce on your catty-friends as you will squash them :(
3. Once you have selected your target, make sure you are as low to the ground as possible, while still being able to see that target.
Make sure that your tail is not visible; this is a kitten-like mistake.
4. Wait until your target is in range.
5. Swish your tail from side to side (out of view) and wiggle your bottom a little bit, in readiness to pounce.
6. Sprint as fast as you can, surprising your target, and leap on it, landing with your two front paws. Humans, you will have to use your hands.
7. You may choose to keep your target under your paws for a bit, while you look around you and lazily lick your cheeks. This sends out a confident message 'yes. I do this all the time.'
8. You can choose whether to have your target as a mid-morning snack or take it back to mummy or daddy as a present. If you are human, be warned, your mummies and daddies can react strangely to being brought home presents.
*If you are not on form, and miss your target when you go to pounce, I suggest the following; Keep chasing for a bit, as no-one likes a quitter. If this fails, stop, and have a good look around you to see if anyone saw that happen. Regardless of whether they did or not, make out that you are not bothered, by cleaning your tail.
Happy pouncing!
Below is the perfect present if your mummy or daddy's birthday is coming up.
