Ok, here's one for all you bone idle cat lovers to do when you just can't be bothered to get out of your chair to play with the cat. Get one of those laser pointers and let the cat see the red spot, once the attention is got, then move the laser around, the cat will follow it and try to get it. I do it with the visiting cats, it is amusing to lead the cat on with the laser spot until the cat goes into hunting mode and waits watching the spot, crouching down shuffling it's back legs ready for the pounce, the trick is to watch until the point where the cat just pounces, then move the spot, so it don't get it, a game for humans as well, you, your reactions against the cats. The cat missing it looks miffed, but it doubles it's efforts and tries a new way to get it. Interesting to watch, and good for the cats skills too and no blood unless you put the spot on someone else. A friend did it in the pub to one of the pub cats, but put the spot on the Landlord's bare leg, the cat had him then legged it, my pal got ejected from the pub. So funny to watch a cat flying through the air, all legs posed with claws bared, hugging the landlords leg before bouncing off and out the door.
