First, they jump backward from each other, landing in such a way that their butts are in the air.
Then, one will run, with the other giving chase.
They will pause, jump backward from each other again, scooch down to the floor and do the bouncy wiggle hop back. This is a powerup, the level of which is indicated by the degree to which their eyes start gleaming with crazy.
They will run laps, many, many laps, around the living room. This is a secondary powerup, the longer they go, the greater the speed, and the higher level of energy they are storing for what is to follow.
Side to side jumping ensues, indicating power stores are leveling out and being distributed for maximum release.
Kitten leaps from center of living room to the back of the sofa, and begins running back and forth, while the dog anxiously spins in anticipation.
When the kitten leaps, landing suspended upside down from the side of the sofa, the dog sails to the couch, landing on it in such a way that most of the cushions are knocked free and the slipcover is completely pulled off one end.
The kitten makes his airborne way to the coffee table, clearing the top as he dashes across it, jumping off the end, and running back through the shelf underneath - clearing that as well. He exits in a way that knocks it crooked.
The dog jumps over the coffee table from the partially destroyed sofa, and chases the kitten down the hall, back again, and in a trotting lap around the very, very outermost perimeter of the living room.
They decide to run through the kitchen, lose control coming around a sharp turn, and slide in tandem into the water dish, sending it (no kidding) sailing into the living room where it douses the carpet.
And now you know.
