Laser pointer as cat toy?
Laser pointers to amuse cat? Bah, humbug! Invested in a laser pointer
with a nice bright red dot. Does the cat chase the dot? Of course not. She just ignores it. Much prefers a toy using piece of stiff wire with a couple of small white sticks on the end. Stupid cat. sigh Ken -- Untie the two knots to email me Every silver lining has a cloud. |

He/ she is secretly laughing at you for getting up the nerve to think they have to play when you want them to Remember dogs have masters cats have slaves -- Untie the two knots to email me Every silver lining has a cloud. |

Laser pointer as cat toy?
My Xena loves her laser toy. I have it on my key chain hanging on the door
handle...she'll jump up and bat at it then jump up in the corner where we generally end her chase by her jumping up the wall. I've realized that's her signal that she wants to play.

That's strange cuz mine go ballistic for it.....But only Lilly & Biffy go chase it around the room, up the curtains, ( up the walls if they could...).... It's my son that is the problem.... he keeps shining the damned thing all over the place. One of his favourites is waiting until you go to sleep then gets the cat to pounce straight on your tummy whilst you are inspecting the inside of your eye lids for 40 winks S;o) |

Jessie prefers to wrestle anythign filled with catnip or to chase a wiggly worm thing on a piece of string, she also likes the 'cat dancer' toy you described, it moves about erratically and they like that as it is just like a buzzing fly or insect they can try to swat. bookie |

Much prefers a toy using piece of stiff wire with a couple of small white sticks on the end. Stupid cat. sigh Of my two step-cats, the "kitten" (15 mo now) will chase the red dot quite happily. I *thought* I had her fooled by sending the dot under various items of furniture so that she'd wait for it to come out again, until the time when she got bored with waiting, came over to me, and used her paw to tap the hand I was holding the pointer in. So, she'd worked out where the dot was coming from, which impressed me! The big guy (9 yo) is, of course, far too dignified to go running after a red dot like a kitten! Unless, of course, there are no feline witnesses, when he will chase it - but if the little one turns up, he immediately sits down and pretends a complete lack of interest. I suppose that he's afraid he'll damage his "cool" image otherwise. -- Dave not-me should be djw401 and there's no need for any wossname |
