Feather on a string on a stick used to keep my cat in the 90s entertained for hours. Also laserpen. This was before we found out laserpens cause cats depression.

What?? Why? I thought cats love laserpens

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

They do. They love them so much that they become obsessed with them. But the laserpen has no physical mass, meaning that the cats can't understand why they can never catch it. So they work even harder to catch it. But they can't. It's just a light beam.

So it's kind of like going hunting, and never getting the kill, despite the fact that you thought you killed it several times.

Because they can never catch it. There's no reward for a successful hunt.

I've been told it's because they never get the satisfaction of catching the dot.
