I’ve see all manner of creatures chase laser pens all over the place. Why do they do it? Bonkers!!!

I know fish do it as they see it as ‘prey’ – just like the ‘glimmering’ of scales in water/light. Tis the same for any predatory animal really – they enjoy the visual relevance of chasing it!
It’s fabulous exercise for all species noted above btw so keep it up ! Good fun for us AND them ! Yay!

Slow evening in the Ambrose house?

My two boy cats go mad. My old female tabby used to just give me a withering look and ignore the dot completely

I’d forgotten about doing this with the cat. He goes bonkers up the walls after the dot.

Our three boy cats like to chase the laser dot.
They all like their “drugs” aka catnip leaves, though it usually ends up in lumps of black, white & ginger hair flying.
The ginger & white likes to play fisticuffs with the welding glove, too.
