Default Red dot junkie

I've created a red dot junkie! I was buying some things at the Dollar
Tree the other day. While I was standing in the checkout line, I
noticed some little laser pointers. I used to have one years ago, and
one of my RB cats was crazy about it, so I bought one to see how my
current cats would react.


Pickles isn't at all interested, but Koala went crazy over it. It
didn't take him long at all to figure out that I had something to do
with it, so now he pesters me constantly to show him the red dot.
Sometimes he'll race up and down the hallway chasing it. Other times he
stays pretty much in one spot and makes occasional jumps at it as it
comes close. Sometimes he'll chase it around in circles.


He used to pester me for his canned food in the evening. Now he pesters
for the red dot instead.

It's really funny to watch them chasing the dot but there not being
anything there when they catch it.

Yes it is. Sometimes he just sits and watches it, but if it lands on
his tail or his paw, he has to jump for it. Even if all he does is
watch it, he still pesters me to shine it.
