Do your cats get excited when you bring out the red dot??

[madinmaryland]

We have one cat that goes wild over it, and the other one ignores it.

The possum outside has no interest in it.

1. I don't have any goddamn cats

[racaulk]

2. My two cats go crazy for it.

Incredibly fun (and cheap) entertainment for me!

Not my cat, but you get the idea:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. They'll chase it for a little while

but they get bored after a bit when they don't catch it.

4. My Burmese boy would jump at it once or twice, then decide he was"bored" and give up.

I could never get him to show much interest. He would get annoyed when he couldn't catch anything to bite on (like his furry toy mouse, which he loved)

5. wawas thinking you meant a laser sight for your gun

And thought yeah your cat will get excited if your shooting at it dumbass then realised it wasnt a sight you were talking about.

6. Mine will chase it right up wall. I finally decided I was driving him crazier

So I quit. He'd get excited every time he thought I was reaching for it.

8. 3 of our 4 do,,,

the Bombay will just look at it and if it gets any closer she will just run from it. The 14 year olds will paly wth it for awhile. The year old tabby is a Red Dot Addict! She will come running when she hears the drawer open where it is kept. I can get to to chase it up the stairs into the 2nd floor countless times.
WHen she attempts to catch it with her paws, she sounds like a drummer doing a solo.

9. They get excited when they *hear* it

It's on a tiny chain that barely makes a noise but when I pick it up they come running and start scanning the floor/walls.

10. It's kept in a drawer in the computer room

when they hear that drawer opening the coming running

11. No cats,

but my dog will wreck the house chasing it.

[HopeHoops]

12. We don't have one, but a regular flashlight works just as well - "sparkles" as my friend calls it.

[pipi_k]

13. They probably would...

if I had cats.

However, I have two German Shepherds.

Lucy loves it. She goes nuts over it.

Nikki thinks it's lame, but turns into a wild animal for soap bubbles.

14. One of mine will grab at it if its close by, the other one just looks at me with a look of disgust

but one, she chases it up the wall, jumps over things, she turns into a ninja when I get out the red dot.

15. My cat is so-so about it. However, my Jack Russell/Chihuahua

goes crazy over it. Sometimes I wait until after dark and then take him out to the backyard to chase it. He would chase it all over the yard. His younger sister who is a terrier mix would chase her brother while he chased the red dot. It was such an easy way to exercise both dogs at one time.

16. Mine do. My beagle, too, but I learned something about that...

Dogs can become fixated on it. Bailey would sit and wait for the dot to come back. After a time I stopped playing with the pointer around him. The other day I brought it out for the cats (after over a year) and Bailey's head immediately snapped to the floor looking for the dot.
