Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2005Cat going nuts
I thought I'd give my cats a treat and bought some fresh cat mint and rubbed some onto the cat tree - now I have a cat going nuts, rolling about there since a long time. With dried stuff I never got such a reaction. I also wanted to get a laser pointer, but I just cannot find one. Where do you people get yours? Our last one was from abroad, one of the children got it.

The one I use is not actually a laser pointer - it's sold for less than pointers as a "laser level" to be used for shining 'level' lines of light on walls for construction uses (for which the rotatable optical head makes it quite useless). I removed the rotating head and got a simple laser beam. Always be careful not to shine any laser in the cat's eyes (or human eyes either). There are many other sources for lasers other than the somewhat pricey pointers.  SignatureT.E.D.

U can usually find some laser pointers and other good cat toy ideas at dollar stores. (They even have the cool kind where the beam are little star shapes and stuff) > I also wanted to get a laser pointer, but I just cannot find one. Where do > you people get yours?

Am I the only one who noticed that the message came from Switzerland? And that Swiss or generic, not US specific, response is in order? SignatureT.E.D.

But did you also notice that some of the US specific responses came from that "catkb" web site, wich is aparently populated by people who have no knowlege of the working of the internet, let alone usenet, and that the internet is international??? Anyway, I was wondering if Carola would accept one as a gift from someone in the US, since it seems that laser pointers aren't that prolific where she is, therefore more expensive. And most places that sell them online cheap are US-er as well, and shipping overseas wpi;d bankrupt her?

I had a good laugh at the answers, but it *is* interesting to see where you people get your laser pointers. I have a relative who lives in California and NY, she works as a flight attendant and we meet every now and again, so she will be able to get me one. I'll give all the addresses that were posted here to her. It really seems to be the case that no shop sells them here (maybe because they're too dangerous?). I have tried quality supermarkets, hobby shops, electronics shops, newsagent's - with no luck. :-( Carola >It really seems to be the case that no shop sells them here >(maybe because they're too dangerous?). I have tried >quality supermarkets, hobby shops, electronics shops, newsagent's >- with no luck. :-( Have you tried places that sell business/office supplies and equipment? They are popular as pointers during slide shows and presentations. People who sell other things used at meetings and presentations might have them too. Here's a Swiss link: <http://www.expansys.ch/product.asp?code=LPOINT> - they do exist and can be had for CHF25.95. SignatureT.E.D.

Carola The local supermarket in Jersey sells them but I haven't seen them in Florida yet. The price was around $6 or $7. > I thought I'd give my cats a treat and bought some fresh cat mint and rubbed > some onto the cat tree - now I have a cat going nuts, rolling about there [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > =´`= ___ ) > (_ |
