They get wise to that laser pointer shiite. At lease ours did. He used
to bolt into action when he even heard so much as the little chain on
the pointer jangling. But now, he just lays there on his fat side.
You must have really stupid cats if you're still able to charm them
with something as old and worn out as the laser pointer gag. You don't
shoot them in the eyes with it, do you? You might have already impaired
their little visionz with that thing. I screwed up our nice Memorex VCR
with one by pointing it at the inferred sensor slot. It began ejecting
when play was pressed and so forth after that. Nutty. I can only
imagine what you could do with one of those things aimed carelessly at
their little eyes...
