Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2006laser pointers for exercise?
How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets? "Arnold Beland" <abeland1@comcast.net> wrote in message > How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets? I've got one, but my 18 month old cat doesn't chase it like she used to. Now, she stalks it or tries to sneak up on it, preferring not to run around near so much. In the beginning, I could get her to run 40 feet of hallway a dozen times in a row, but not now. So, I've mostly stopped using it except if I want here to move from one section of my apartment to another and then I get it out and she comes to investigate. >"Arnold Beland" <abeland1@comcast.net> wrote in message >> How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets?

My four chased it like crazy when I first got it but now they lay and swipe at it as it goes by them. Maybe they figured out that there was nothing to catch or maybe they played with it too much at first. I used to play with it for a good 1/2 an hour a night at first and they ran like crazy. After a week or so they started slacking of. Now I get it out maybe once a week but they still are not crazy about it like they were.

If you get one don't point it directy in the eye and get one that has batteries that are avaiable in your area. THEY WILL EAT BATTERIES. Of course only the kitten chases after it. My 18 year old Calico says go chase it yourself. That is true for the keychain type pointers. A high quality pointer such as the one found here: http://www.atlasnova.com/RedLaserPointer650nm.htm These use standard AA AE AE batteries and a set of batteries will last for over 100 hours. No plastic. All mental. Not made in China. >>How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets? >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption > =---- > That is true for the keychain type pointers.

Much safer that way. ---tension >No, no! Really, it's all in your mind....just *think* the beam and it >will appear. Much safer that way. And uses less batteries.

LOL I am a perhaps overy enthusiastic user of a speech to text program called Dragon naturally speaking version 9. I am amazed at the accuracy of this thing. Perhaps overly impressed, one still needs to proofread. I of course meant to say, all metal, notably bronze construction. In fact, these people are also pet lovers and will sell you one of these for only eight dollars including batteries, but without the gift case. They charge five dollars for shipping for the first one. But any additional pointers will only be charged an extra one dollar. These are exactly the same high quality lecturing pointers that you will find at places like RadioShack, Office Depot, Staples and so on for $30. Sent an e-mail to them or call them for this deal, you will not do better. >> That is true for the keychain type pointers.

All mental. Not made in China. I've tried a number of of them. None will last 100 hours. Divide that by about 10. Consider getting rechargeable batteries. >These use standard AA AE AE batteries and a set of batteries will last for >over 100 hours. No plastic. All mental. Not made in China. Probably made in Taiwan. There is a considerable difference between the two countries. >>These use standard AA AE AE batteries and a set of batteries will last for >>over 100 hours. No plastic.

Suffice to say it probably ain't made in the US of A. Since it isn't made in China and not made in the USA that means probalby Taiwan. Sad to say, but all we seem to do is sell stocks and bonds and flip burgers for each other.

I tried it, but the cats can't hold them in their widdle paws! > How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets? I tried one once and they hunted the red spot like crazy. At some point it feeled somewhat unfair cause there IS nothing to grab for them. So I decided to stop using a laser pointer. Makes them just crazy and unsatisfied. I just felt sorry for them. >> How many of you use laser pointers to exercise your pets? > >I tried one once and they hunted the red spot like crazy. >At some point it feeled somewhat unfair cause there IS nothing >to grab for them. So I decided to stop using a laser pointer. >Makes them just crazy and unsatisfied. I just felt sorry for them. I initially thought that too but the kitten seems to enjoy it and gets dissapointed when I stop. Besides if he didn't want to chase, he'd do what my oldest female does, "Go chase it yourself." Remember this is also the same kitten who did stuff like chase after his own tail. >Besides if he didn't want to chase, he'd do what my oldest female >does, "Go chase it yourself." > >Remember this is also the same kitten who did stuff like chase after >his own tail. haha. i loved it when my cat would chase her tail. i think she figured out that if she bit it it would cause her pain. she's not THAT clueless. it was soo cute though!

It so reminds me of fur-less babies when they discover their toes and first thing they do is put them in their mouths! --tension |
