It turns out to be true

Laser pointers[0] cause kitties to freak the heck out and scramble all over the place, including in circles, furiously.

We'll have to integrate this into Mylk and Andre's daily feather-on-a-string workout.

[0] Mine was about $5 at the pet store.

you know what's fun. put it just high enough on the wall that they can't get to it and just go back and forth with it. they'll sit on the floor moving their heads back and forth watching it like their watching a tennis match.

cutest thing evar.

It's hilarious that the pet store sells laser pointers!

Meanest game ever. The cats can never catch the thing. I know, I know; the cats are still having fun. I still think it's mean.

We use our laser pointer much more maliciously. We point it on Travis's paw. He thinks that he has jam on his paw and tries to lick it off. We then put laser pointer on other paw. Travis tries to lick it off again. Rinse and repeat until Travis gives up on the jam.

Buster doesn't have much patience for laser pointers. He'll chase the dot for about ten seconds, but then I think he realizes it's incorporeal and/or controlled by me. And then he looks at me with a sort of "Oh fuck you" expression[1].

The black fox tail I purchased at a Native American craft show a few years back, on the other hand, has become his favorite toy. I've taken to hiding it around the apartment so that he can find it and pounce/tackle/wrestle it to the ground.

[1] This is, of course, Buster's default expression.
