A smaller diameter push stick - I know cats only come furry and round but a
bit of broom handle will do - even if you cut it on the rip.
Alternately, cut the length of stock overlength then you can poke it in far
enough for the piece you want to cut on the angle.
Turn the saw off and retract it & cut the length back to what you want.
Good luck.
