Because only the cat gets any fun playing with a ball of string.


And, more to the point, it doesn't show any interest in the laser
level and hence you are free to get on with the job. (been there done
that... little bugger)


There may be something wrong with your cat !


Indeed.

Ours chases the laser dot to exhaustion.


Ours did, until they figured out that even when they caught it,
they didn't.

We call it the "cat exerciser."


Would you believe: US Patent # 5,443,036
"Method of Exercising a Cat".

Abstract:

"A method for inducing cats to exercise consists od directing
a beam of invisible light produced by a hand-held laser
apparatus onto the floor or wall or other opaque surface in
the vicinity of the cat, then moving the laser so as to
cause the bright pattern of light to move in an irregular
way fascinating to cats, and to any other animal with a
chase instinct."
