A man lost his dog, but the cat lets him walk her. Connected by the dog’s old leash, they walk. The man explains the world as they go: this leash is our curve of pursuit, he says.
What’s that? The cat, having no crystal ball or even a decent pair of glasses, might wonder.
See those ants? Each walks at the same speed toward the ant on their left. The curve of pursuit is the curve traced by the pursuers.
Never one to grovel for place, the cat assumes a posture identical to the man, and pulls ahead of him.
