I have thee not, and yet I see thee still! Yowl!

...Or, in other words - evil red dot! Barry kill!

Laser pointer. Blur of ecstatic movement. Dizzy cat. Just sayin'.

Actually, what I think I love best is not the giddy whirling, it's the baffled alertness after the evil red dot disappears. It's like popping soap bubbles: he completely doesn't understand where it's gone, he's sure it's hiding somewhere and he wants it back, he hasn't finished playing yet.

You see... Hours of amusement for Master and Serf alike!

Have you tried presenting the 'invader' next to the food dish or literbox? My two become insanely protective of their Special Places. This game usually ends when I can no longer contain my composure, although Roo has been known to sit IN the food dish to protect it from the invading forces.

I guess being a drama-queen runs in the family...

My mother's dogs used to run around the television set whenever some animal program was on and a creature runs off the frame, trying to figure out where the beastie went.

Both my cats do that. Mr. Mumford will spin in skuttling circles and Cinnamon goes on the hunt. At first she (Cinnamon) was baffled because she couldn't smell it, but then she realised "red dot! fun!" and will climb walls and dip her paw in water for it.

Okay, I think we've worked out what to get our cats for Christmas. Who knows, our cat loving aunt & uncle may even buy it for us/ them.

I agree with pennski. William would love that. Maybe you should bring it when you are making dinner and we can experiment...
