lazer pointers
is lazer pointer use entertaining and stimulating for the cat also?
or do the readers here consider it cat torment? I mean it is pretty funny to watch a cat chase something they can never catch. I do wonder if it is causing cat distress though. Do any readers here engage in this activity? ¿ Matt |

It's actually a good way to get otherwise sedentary cats to get some exercise. Dan |

I do wonder if it is causing cat distress though. Do any readers here engage in this activity? ¿ Matt Since our cats arrived, I've tried to play different games with them. Agatha loves to play with a stick that has feathers on it. It's a sedentary game. I lay the stick on a shelf on my bookcase. Sometimes during the evening she tries to find it, climbs all over my bookcases, finds it and drops it on the floor. Sometimes she drags it around the house. Then she forgets about it until the next evening, when the treasure hunt begins again. Edgar has a few games. No interest in sticks with stuff on them. He kicks around a little felt mouse that has a bell attached, but otherwise his favorite toy is the laser pointer. He'll whine and meow and nothing stops it until I get the little laser toy. Then he scoots around our basement chasing it. I usually get tired of it before he does :-). I read somewhere that it's not good to shine the laser directly in cats' eyes, but otherwise it's a wonderful game for those cats which like it, and gives them an opportunity to exercise. Jay |

She decided it was wasted energy. She still enjoys a catnip stuffed mousie from time to tine. MLB |

However, the two I have now just aren't interested. Joy |
