Best. Cat Toy. Ever.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I am hanging pictures and have a Mini Laser Level, which is now my cat Noah's favorite toy. He is practically climbing the walls trying to get it! He comes up to me and meows at it when it's noy on because he wants to play. It's so funny to see a seven year old, 14-lb monster kitty jumping like a little kitten!

:D

1. I Noticed When I Was Using My Level

I got a $1.99 laser pointer and whip it out every once in a while to let mine play.

2. it's almost cat abuse!

i got a laser for my cat to play with. she (betty) goes crazy trying to catch the light.

then when you turn it off she will spend 30 minutes trying to find it. it's like she lost her best friend. so i feel sorry for teasing her with it.

3. My kitty Noah stares at me and meows so I'll turn it on for him!

He knows it's fake, but just loves to chase it!

4. There's actually a made-for-kitties laser out there.

It's called a Laser Mouse........you ought to see all 5 of ours going at it!

5. Cheapie laser pointer works just fine

Two of mine chase it, but it seemes to be invisible to the third one, who sits there wondering what the hell is going on. Even a hand mirror on a sunny day provides loads of fun. In fact, when I was a kid I had a dog who would chase that spot of light.

6. Noah also chases reflections on walls

Sunlight through a glass of selzer is one of his faves.

12. Exactly the same as my three........

two love chasing it and the third one (the oldest) appears to not even see it. Funny eh?

7. be careful not to shine lasers directly in a pet's eyes

8. I love putting the spot on the wall...

they both run right into it!
THen spooky does the "on hind legs wall slappin' dance"
It's a good time.

10. sounds like our youngest cat

when he was a kitten. He'd get going so fast that he couldn't stop and we would hear this "thump"

"Oops, Bear just ate wall again!" (that or the sliding glass door)

9. we had a laser mouse, cats loved it

but it seems to be broken (yes, we checked the batteries)

11. Lasers are good. I like brown paper bags.

Put one down on the floor and they'll run into them like a kid with a pillow fort. I was playing with my parents cat while house sitting once. I put it right side up to see if the cat would jump up and into the bag, but it didn't. I watched some TV for awhile and forgot about it. About two hours later, unbeknownst to me, the cat clims up on the shelving to the very top by the ceiling and then does a swan dive directly into the bag, head first. I've never seen a cat not land on it's feet before. The bag was completely still for a few minutes as I sat and wondered if I'd just killed my parents cat, when it came to and staggered out of the bag looking rather dazed.

13. I thought it was the little plastic ring on a gallon jug of milk

but I'm not a cat person.
