For Christmas, our boys got a Petsafe Bolt Laser Light toy from their Aunt Felice. This device projects a laser light onto the floor and moves it randomly for fifteen minutes before it automatically shuts off. It is made for humans as much as cats because now we can go about our business while the cats try to capture the elusive red dot.
I turned it on in the bedroom on Christmas Day and Chris immediately proved that he can still get that hefty body of his moving.
Since then we turn it on about once a day and they have not grown tired of it. Chris, however, is smarter than the average cat. He figured out a long time ago that Rose and I were controlling the red dot and now he has figured out it is coming from the Bolt device. If you watch the end of the following video you will see what I mean.
Despite Chris discovering “the man behind the curtain,” he still enjoys the cat toy along with the rest of our feline family.
What do you think? Do you have something like this?
Bad Cat Chris 
that’s a fab toy! I sadly do not play with lights but maybe I once will find the fun behind such toys ;O)
I think it’s a cat thing.
We reviewed it and had a give-away for it approximately 2 years ago? It is still one of Cody’s faves.
I like toys that have a lasting appeal.
We have the Bolt but it stopped working for us a while back. We need a new one!
I guess you do. They seem cheap enough.
Boodie would probably really enjoy this – and unlike Chris, she is not bright enough to figure out where it comes from!
Chris is not like any other cat I’ve ever met. Maybe you should get it for Boodie. I think everyone would probably like it.
We don’t have such a toy, but we would enjoy it ! Purrs
It really was a good gift.
What a smarty pants! Red Dot Mystery solved! I solved it at my house, too. It’s right in Mom’s hand. She can’t trick me.
Love and licks,

I guess you are as smart as Chris. 😀
Figures Chris would figure that out. 🙂
It didn’t surprise me either. ☺️
I have one that turns around in circles…very boring…MOL 😀 Chris is so smart 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 ❤
I think the randomness of this one is nice.
Chris is wise, as you said, interesting really that he understood the system, must say an amazing cat.
Thanks. Chris is one in a million.
He is so cute, always sleeping with another cat.
He loves physical contact.
What a smart cat! I used to play with cats using the laser toy when I volunteered at the animal shelter. I found some loved it but others ignored it.
Yes, some are fascinated by it but not enough to actually do anything about it. 🙂
