Any materials used to make the obstacles are okay, as long as they meet the important dimension so competitions are uniform everywhere.

Floor Covering

Floor covering must be soft and provide traction on ALL courses, or it will not be an ICAT event.	Important Dimension	Metric	Feet
Basic, regular course	X	3 m x 6 m	10' x 20'
Basic, hallway course	X	1.83 m x 12.19 m	6' x 40'
Advanced, present size	X	9.75 m x 9.75 m	32' x 32'
Advanced, future size	X	6.1 m x 6.1 m	20' x 20'
Expert	X	6.1 m x 6.1 m	20' x 20'

Ladder

The ladder squares measure 20 inches on the outside of one square.

Basic course uses 3 squares. Advanced uses 4 holes. Expert uses 5 holes.

Height of ladder is 3.5 inches to the top.

The important dimensions length of square and height.

Ramp

Top length: 64 x 64 cm, 2 feet

Height:: 50 cm, 1 foot 6 inches - Important demension

Length of the ramp: 110 cm, 3 feet 6 inches - important dimension

Width: 1 foot 6 inches

Basic course does not use the Ramps.

Advance course uses ramp together, Epert course uses the ramp tables split in the middle so a raised hoop jump can be inserted in the separation, to increase the difficulty.

For traction, the ramp should have carpet, rubberized paint with traction particles, bathtub traction film, or something else, so the cats have good traction.

Fence

Perimeter fencing should be at least 1,5 meters, 5 feet high, ideally 1,8 meters, 6 feet high, although 1,2 meters, 4 feet has also been successful. Very few cats have ever tried to escape (about 3 out of 800 so far).

If a cat is very frightened, the Agility Offical will request it be removed from the agility ring before it has a chance to want to escape. ICAT is supposed to be fun for the cats, too!
