The Cat and Mouse Act is the name of the "Prisoners, Temporary Discharge for Health Act" that was launched against the Suffragettes. The logic of the act was just to let the arrested Suffragettes to go on hunger strike. They will wait until they weaken from lack of food before releasing them believing that they can do no harm outside when they are weak and need to regain strength outside.
