Evil Red Dot

Here’s the new Nesta story: A laser pointer.
The girl goes absolutely bonkers when LP or BP runs the red dot all over the carpet. Sometimes they run it so it appears to go down into the floor heater vent. The cat will just sit and stare at the vent in case the Evil Red Dot appears. She’s guarding her humans against the ERD. Last night I ran the ERD into her kitty condo, and she took a flying leap and landed inside it. Run the dot alongside the wall near the floor and make it disappear around a corner and she’ll take on her crouched, attack kitty stance mode and fly around the corner. She’s a funny cat. I’m interested to see what she does this summer if a lightning bug gets inside the house.

Nesta sounds really entertaining. She would probably like to chase moths, too. Does she like to hide in paper bags?

Do you have any high-caste female Indian friends you could bring home for Nesta to play with?

We don't own a laser pointer (ought to get one), but over the years, we have had some cats that go bonkers over the flashlight beam, and some who totally ignored it.

Both Jack and Scout LOVE the laser pointer. I like to run it along the floor and up the wall to see how high on the wall they'll jump. Another fave thing is to put it on one of the cats and watch the other cat pounce. That usually only works for Scout.

Emma -- You have to get a "Da Bird" for Nesta. She'll go nuts. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=11643&N=2002+113121

Schell - LOL!! Okay, that's bad.
