Icy day exercise
I got a laser for the cats and finally took it out of the package today.
The kitten went NUTS, and to my surprise, so did Roxy! I stood on a couch and had the two of them tearing around in zig-zags and circles until my abs couldn't take laughing anymore. I wish I had a video camera so we could tape this craziness. Good times. Too bad the the fat cat--the only inhabitant of this house who doesn't get enough exercise--wasn't interested. He looked at the red dot, then up at my hand, back at the dot, and then walked away in disgust. -- Lynne |

I've heard too many stories about dogs who got seriously OCD about lasers, to the point that the laser affected their behavior even when it wasn't being used.

What do you mean? It sounds bad, and I definitely want to avoid it, but I don't understand. http://youtube.com/watch?v=4hlq-3iq87w Just sayin'... Haha, excellent! I am building a gym in the basement, so maybe I'll put a treadmill on the list of toys. I don't think he can handle the elliptical machine we already have.. -- Lynne |

m: What do you mean? It sounds bad, and I definitely want to avoid it, but I don't understand. The dog can get so intense about the laser, that it can actually become obsessive about looking for lights, even when the laser is put away. The thing is, you won't know if there's going to be a problem until there is a problem, and once the damage is done, it can be heartbreaking to fix it. *If* it can be fixed. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Con...P=A&A=2180&S=1 http://www.terrier.com/wwwboard/faq/flashlight2.htm I don't think he can handle the elliptical machine we already have.. How about a giant hamster ball? -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) S is for Susan who perished of fits. -- Edward Gorey, The Gashlycrumb Tinies |

Well the laser is now a cat-only toy. That is NOT a risk worth taking. I don't think he can handle the elliptical machine we already have.. How about a giant hamster ball? That would be GREAT for me, but somehow I don't think I would be able to turn my back on him once I let him out. -- Lynne |
