Default What's good for the cat is good for the baby, and VV

DH just returned from a business trip and brought back a laser pointer
for me to use during presentations (yeah, right). I was shining the
light up on the ceiling this morning, when I noticed DD2 (13 mos old)
looking up at the light.

So then I shone the light down on the ground in front of her, and she
took off chasing it around the floor and trying to catch it. It was
just like a cat chase, only much slower and less frenetic.
Unfortunately I was laughing too hard to keep the light on for long. I
can't wait to try it again, especially if the cats get into it too.

Mithu's taken to playing with toy cars, since they are nice and light
and spin dramatically on smooth surfaces.

I finally got a laser pointer recently at a pet store. It's got five
different shapes, and the furries seem to like the star best. They go
absolutely *nuts* when I get that out. I wish I had bought one years
ago, but I was worried about the safety. I'm careful to not shine it
directly in their eyes, so it's okay.

I also had it in my purse for some reason, and got it out at a party
several months ago, where the hostess had 2 d-pets. I pulled it out,
and they were just as fascinated and frenzied as my cats -- lol.
