Take another look at the sentence:
My cat Buster leapt onto the
wobbly table to escape Oreo, the dog, who
ran in tight circles, trying
to bite Buster's tail, which hanged over
the side.
The third verb, hanged, is incorrect. This sentence requires the simple past. Hung is the right form. Hanged means to to die by being suspended by the neck.

Leapt, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
