Happens with one of my parents' cats. However, the cat isn't chased*, I just throw cat-biscuits across the floor, and off she goes.
Skitter skitter skitter
*whump*
Then crunch-crunch-crunch on the cat biscuit, and back to me with the cat equivalent of a 'Next please!' look on her face :)
(Side note - if you throw something inedible, it turns into a game of fetch.)
* but, having been desexed, it is chaste...
