really ? i didn't know you could get such small rechargeables (my laser pointer takes 3 small batteries, i think they are L44 or something). do you have an online source ? rechargeables would be better for this house as well.

Fun times!
Two cats + 1 dot + some corner = great fun!
One cat + 1 dot + slippery floor = greater fun!
One cat will tear after the dot with all he has (he is also the one that catches all the mice). The other is a lot bigger and much less flexible. So, Cat 2 will sit behind a wall, waiting for Cat 1 to barge by again. And then spring out of his corner and tackle the other cat. I think he's jealous he just can't keep up with the tight curves I keep on forcing.
I only need to pick the thing up and the eyes of one cat will open wide, his tail will start swishing and he will start mewling, full of anticipation. And then he'll jump three times his body height against the wall, slide halfway the hallway to chase the dot around and fall over the other cat who has given up and is laying on the floor

hey ! we have the same cats !
(no mice though, thank god. i really couldn't handle that.)
we also have slippery floors, and tight corners. and sometimes i just make them run around in a circle in the middle of the room.
mine are so addicted that they know the noise the thing makes (there is a little chain to put it on a keyring on the end of it, so it makes a faint jingling noise, and they know where i keep it on the desk so they are always keeping an eye on that) and even if they are sound asleep at the other end of the house, if i touch it or touch anything that might make a similar noise (which includes sometimes just the click of a pen on the desk !) they come running over with eyes like saucers and the little one making hyper-excited mewling noises. at first i didn't realise they thought i was getting out the RED DOT !! when they did this, and i couldn't figure out why they were following me around mewling whenever i took my pen.
