That is hilarious! I've found that you have a start cats on laser pointers when they're tiny kittens, otherwise they just don't buy it. I also see that your pets don't understand pointing either:
ME: "Becket, look over there."
CAT: "Ooo - sniff Mamma's fingers!"
ME: "No stupid, over THERE."
CAT: "Maybe there's a treat on the fingers."
ME: "Dipshit - the treat is over THERE. On the FLOOR."
CAT: "The hand *smells* like a treat."
ME: "Okay dingbat, she just ate it. You don't understand pointing, do you?"
CAT: "Hey - how come *she* got a treat?"
You could run him around the back yard at night with that thing - as long as he doesn't run INTO anything!
