Laser pointer - what a bust!
Are my cats too smart? (or just too lazy?)
4 out of 5 cats figured out that it wasn't worth chasing in less than 3 minutes. The 5th kept at it until I felt sorry for him and gave him some extra treats for his trouble. |

He'll watch it intently, but can't be bothered to chase it. Glad I got the 2/$5 ones... Claude |

Mine never get tired of it. |

The rest of your bunch are much too cynical, particularly when they discovered each time the dot moved so would your hand. |

It takes more effort to keep her interested. I make sweeping circles from floor to ceiling. She likes that. I got a newer laser that has a brighter red dot that the older and uses AAA batteries. I have yet to replace the batteries. I find that keeping the laser on for 5 or 10 minutes will get to her, takes time, she pretends she is not interested, then wham. |
