There is no more fun and carefree activity than sitting in a chair, moving a laser pointer across the floor or walls, watching your domestic cat go crazy.

But such entertainment does not benefit the pet, but literally drives it crazy.

Experts explained why it is better to buy your pet a normal tangible toy and what consequences laser entertainment can lead to.

The cat needs somewhere to expend the energy accumulated during the day.

If this is not done, the pet may be up to mischief half the night. To diversify their leisure time, cats are bought toys.

But the toy must be tangible. The pet must be able to catch the object that aroused its interest.

If possible, bite, scratch, or deal with him, guided by predatory instincts.

Is a “running” laser spot capable of providing such pleasure? No.

A cat may run after a glowing object with wild eyes, but it will soon get tired of it.

This is because, having caught what the animal thinks is prey, the pet will not be able to satisfy its interests.

In other words, the laser will eventually cause frustration or even aggression in the animal. A passive cat will lose interest in entertainment altogether.
