A British dialectal name for tipcat — a traditional street game in which a short tapered stick (the 'cat') is struck with a longer stick to make it fly into the air and then hit again for distance. The game was popular with children in Britain for centuries and has now almost entirely disappeared.
They played piggy-stick in the lane for hours, using a whittled piece of broomstick as the cat.
