healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2023/01/03/laser-pointer-play-with-cats.aspx Story at-a-glance Laser pointers can be an excellent way to get in some much-needed activity for your cat but caution is warranted Because there’s nothing for your cat to “catch” at the end, some cats grow frustrated and may even develop behavior problems as a result Clicker training your cat, and rewarding her for “catching” the laser, is one way to use laser pointer toys safely If you have more than one cat, get multiple laser pointers for playtime so they don’t have to compete with each other, especially if the cats don’t know each other well If your cat doesn’t seem to enjoy the play, or if she seems overly frustrated by them, there are many alternatives to laser pointers that will stimulate your cat’s natural hunting instinct My notes: Does your cat or dog even, enjoy the laser game? We would play with our last cats. The laser was on a keychain & the cats knew that certain jingle. We were mindful of not overplaying with them with it.

My ex girlfriend's brother has a cat and he kept several laser pointers around to tease and have his cat run about. It was kind of funny at first but did it so much I started to feel bad for the cat.

I am not keen on laser pointers, I think it's cruel and it drives them stir crazy trying to 'catch' this invisible object, so to speak.

We play with our cats sometimes. Then you play something else.

I've never heard of it because cat growers are scarce in this area, so no one would be interested in it. When I had a cat while playing, it hit my leg with his leg, and a little blood came out. I have to take 6 injections for this reason, and I left this cat too late.
