Try this:
<rule id="skip-test" name="skip test">
<pattern>
<token skip="-1">saw</token>
<marker>
<token skip="-1">cat<exception regexp="yes"
scope="previous">[^f][^a][^t].*</exception></token>
</marker>
</pattern>
<message>Fat cat!</message>
<short>Fat cat!</short>
<example type="correct">The boy saw the cat.</example>
<example type="correct">The boy saw the fat and smiling cat.</example>
<example type="correct">The boy saw the fat in the frying pan.</example>
<example type="incorrect">The boy saw the fat
<marker>cat</marker>.</example>
<example type="incorrect">The boy saw the smiling and fat
<marker>cat</marker>.</example>
<example type="incorrect">The boy saw Peter and his fat
<marker>cat</marker>.</example>
<example type="incorrect">The boy saw the fat in the frying pan and the
fat <marker>cat</marker>.</example>
</rule>
