Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets Off-Topic for Parakeet Owners What do you guys think about lazer pointers and cats??

i think its perfectly fine to play with a kitty with a lazer pointer but you dont shine it on their face..

Yeah...I think the same thing. As long as they only see it on the floor zooming around that is ok mi my opnion. Just don't let it touch thier face\eyes. My Uncles dog buddy goes NUTS when he see it it is fun to watch

I would not try this with keets. I think that since they can see UV light, it might be dangerous in a way that we are not sure about. Better safe than sorry

At the zoo near us they have laser pointers set up so that people can point the penguins at them, so that the penguins race around and get some exercise. So if it's fine for penguins, I'm sure it's fine for cats and dogs

I would be careful with keets though - I think with their teeny eyes the light is probably too powerful for them.

i dont know why anyone would even try it with keets.. :p i should take a lazer pointer to the zoo some time though.. :p imagine a lion..xD anyway..my cat goes CRAZY!!! i usually let her stick her paw over it, then i shut it off..when she moves her paw, i turn it back on, so she thinks she caught it.. :p ITS SO CUTE!!! they even sell lazer pointers at petsmart to now

My dog goes nuts over laser pointers. Just the other day i had the laser point on a chair. Midnight (My dog) Tried to chew the chair to pieces. I then shut off the light and he was looking for it. Then i once pointed the light on the wooden floor and midnight slid until he hit the wall. No injuries. He hasnt learned his lesson though. :p

LOL :p

Oh my cat loves lazer pointer. She runs up the walls for them. The funny thing is that my dogs afraid of them. Ill be playing with my cat the the dog will slowly back into a corner. And this is spose to me a tough dog.

my dog is afraid of techno-type things..

I can see a dog being afraid of it - he doesn't know what it is, sort of like being afraid of a black widow spider
