Holly and the laser pointer
Holly absolutely adores the laser pointer. It has been one of the best toys
I found in a long time. As I mentioned on this group earlier, she leaps into my lap as soon as I reach for the drawer where it is stored. She runs in circles and twists and turns all around the room in an attempt to "catch" it. At least, she did -- but she's just too smart!! She has figured out that the light comes from that object in my hand. Today, instead of following it around, she stopped when it would move out of her "reach" and look back at my hand. Then she dashed toward me at incredible speed and grabbed it. Thank goodness, she didn't use her claws because she showed tremendous speed and dexterity as she swooped toward it. Ah, well, that may be the end of that toy. I'll try again in a few days.

LOL and some people think that cats aren't capable of logical thought.... Our oldest (Kirby) had the laser pointer figured out a long time ago. It was similar to what you described. He still enjoys it, tho. The other cats don't seem to care, but Pookie (~3 yrs) goes wild over it... Andy Holly absolutely adores the laser pointer.

She chases it around, even to the point of spinning in circles. She finally does realize I'm the one holding the "dot", though, and when tuckered out sits and looks at me like "okay, are you done now? I'm ready for a nap!" (laughing) Jill |

(laughing) Guess loves the laser pointer . She will chase it all around. Harriet also likes it and has chases it around, spinning in circles untiil dizzy (and a dizzy cat is very funny - however we only got her dizzy once). Lita knows where the light is coiming from but will sometimes join in the chasing. Di |

A few years ago, I was helping in the church nursery, taking care of toddlers [18 months - 3 years]. DH [an occasional volunteer] and I discovered that little kids like laser pointers too. :-) Yeah, my hubby has one, and was amusing some of the kids with it at a family party....likes to tell them it's a little red spider (he's wicked that way, but they seemed to get a kick out of it nonetheless)....
