Many cat owners believe that playing with a laser pointer is not good for their pet.
So, it is believed that Murka is experiencing frustration because it is impossible to catch the red dot.
And this is really true, so if you don’t want to make your animal depressed, use regular, tangible toys as well.
In addition, there is a widespread belief that lasers are harmful to the eyes, including those of cats.
In fact, the power of those pointers that can be easily purchased in a store is not capable of harming eyesight. In addition, it is unlikely that anyone in their right mind would deliberately shine a light into their pet's eye for several minutes.
There are often situations when an animal, after playing with a laser pointer, is in an overexcited state and is still trying to find the red light or even spends hours next to the box in which the toy is stored.
Again, you can encounter a similar situation if your pet lacks active games. There is another option - the cat has a weak nervous system. In this case, you really should give up games with a laser.
Finally, opponents of laser pointers are convinced that such games are quite traumatic.
However, here again it is up to the owner. You should not direct the beam at shaky and high structures, for example, the back of chairs, and then the animal will remain safe and sound.
