He Still Keeps Me Laughing

Ok, so Toby's newest thing was just too funny not to share. I am sure everyone one has owned or seen those laser lights. They used to be popular when I was in middle school, everyone just haddd to have one. Although the only thing they were good for was pointing things out, and annoying our teachers. They were silly really, especially when they started coming out with all the different ends so you could make more then just a red dot shine on a wall.
Anyways...after they lost interest with the kiddies, someone got the idea that it would be a good cat toy. Yup, entertain your cat by making it chase this red dot around the room. Made more sense then when we had them in school, right? We did get one, a couple years ago. It was on sale this one time when we were in the pet store. One of those 'cheap, fun, eh..what the hell, let's get it' kinda things. Well the one we got I have had in the closet for months. Mike's niece used to come and visit, and thought it was fun to shine in peoples faces...so it went into hiding for awhile. Well, I came across it the other day. Lily (our kitty) never really got a chance to play with it, so I whipped it out and started to zip this little red dot across the room for her to chase. She started to get interested, but all of a sudden was squished by Toby! He came barrelling after it like a grizzly going after the last salmon!! Here, there, and everywhere...he was on a mission, and he had to get that red dot if it was the last thing he did!! I could get him to jump up walls, and run across the house as fast as he could move his fuzzy lil feet. I eventually had to stop, he wasn't getting tired of it, and was getting a bit too obsessed with his 'get the dot!' game. Plus I couldn't stop laughing at him. So yup...laser lights, they aren't just a cat toy...at least not in our house.

And yes...He still plays with it!
