Kiba movie!!


 Omygosh I hope this works...


I bought a laser cat toy for Kumo.  Kumo ignored it utterly, as it smelled like neither catnip nor feathers.  Dinah is marginally more gullible and chased it a bit.  Kiba freaking LOVED it and I think it's very revealing that my dog is more prone to pounce at moving objects than the flipping kitties are.  Heh!

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!

lol...your kitty dialog is all too familiar (& hilarious). My old Austrailian shepherds were much smarter & I could point to different places & send them off in different directions...but Kiba just looks at my hand.

I was just running Keebs up and down the driveway after the light (we're just calling it "the light")...it works REALLY well at night & he gets pretty tired chasing it. Hooray for innovative dog exercises!

None of the furballs have ever figured out pointing. I've known a few of the "herding class" dogs that got it, but cats generally just don't care.
