Its 5 A.M now and she is hyper active. Last night I got the toy cat safe laser pointer and played with it for like 3 mins… She chased it crazily and then I decided to put it off but she would still continue to hunt over nothing! She has not slept since then and is scratching her post and jumping over me and bed and acting violent…. I searched and came across this post and now understand that its pyschological for cats and that they have to conquer over games towards the end… I am playing harp music for her to calm down now! Hope she goes to sleep and is normal once up …
thank you sooo very much for this post. God Bless.
Plz everyone avoid lasers! Its not a good gameplay ! rather stick to basic wand like toys or something for the kitten to pounce and play

I did buy a laser pointer for my kittens--used it a few times-- they did like the chase--but it seemed there was something missing-- NOW I know why. They do much prefer interaction with me-- they love Da'Bird-- and one boy likes two particular "toys" to play fetch with. I promise to not subject them to frustration and anxiety again--I promise! Thanks so much for this post!
