I just think there'd be too much chance of accidentaly shining the laser
right into the cat's eyeball.
If you notice, when you're playing with your cat, they expand their pupils
real wide. This would also contribute to the damage.
I asked my vet about this, and he's totally against those laser cat toys.
He's had to treat several cats with eye damage from them.
Don't get mad, I'm just a little concerned about this.
I think it would be cheaper and safer to just get a small penlight,
and use that as a cat toy.
