Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2007Laser Pointers
Ok, so I am taking everyones advice and trying to distract Lucky every time he tries to attack me. I had a laser pen that I was going to use, but the batteries died and besides I wanted to get a new one that was easier to use. The problem is that I can't find them anywhere, I have tried Walgreen's Wal- Mart and Petsmart to try and find them and nothing. The guy at Wal-mart told me that due to some stupid kid distracting a pilot with one, they are harder to find. Come on, what kind of parent would watch as their kid did that? Anyways, that is not really my question, my real question is: does anyone have any ideas where I can get a laser pointer (doesn't have to be a pen)? It would be very helpful to me, I used to use my laser pen with him and he loved it, (although he would make very strange noises, and would stare at the wall for a long time after I stopped playing with it). So both Lucky and myself would be thankful!!!

Sorry, can't remember the brand now, but same with Matthew's, mine uses AAA battery rather than one, two or more of those little flat round batteries that I have no idea where you get replacements.

This one comes with two "heads" - one is a little round dot, the other is a mouse-shaped light. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754526&cp&kw=laser&origkw=l aser&sr=1 Hugs, CatNipped > Ok, so I am taking everyones advice and trying to distract Lucky every time > he tries to attack me.

If you have $1 shops, it might be worth looking there? Good Luck, Sheelagh >*o*< > Ok, so I am taking everyones advice and trying to distract Lucky every > time he tries to attack me.

The problem is that I can't find them anywhere, snip Our dollar stores have them. >Ok, so I am taking everyones advice and trying to distract Lucky every time >he tries to attack me.

I'm in Toronto & we are inundated with these stores here, & everyone of them sells some kind of laser pointer kit with the pointer & batteries for $1.00 or $2.00. The replacement batteries are available on cards of 5 batteries for $1.00 & the battery code # is AG13-5 (or 357 or LR44) & all of these batteries will work in the pointers. The batteries last a couple months & are easy to change. The laser pointers themselves will probably fall apart or break after a year or so but at this price, who cares. I've been using these many years & all the cats get good exercise. Here's a link to my energetic monster LIttle Devil chasing the laser light http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2928745910050028271EQxUiR I keep reading about all the other people here paying big bucks for lasers from expensive places & have no idea why they don't utilize the dollar stores.

Any light shone directly in anyone's eyes - 2-legged or 4-legged - will cause a problem - so will looking directly at the sun or a solar eclipse! One has to use common sense.

Then again, I don't think that many of us would be silly enough to do that. It's a nasty kid thing really- but you do make a very good point here.
