I bought a laser pointer and thought it would be a lot of fun with my three cats. However, one has become obsessed with it. She was a wild cat I found at about 6 months of age. She obviously had been around people quite a bit. The first few months I had her she always seemed a little on edge tho. Her eyes always as wide as they could be no matter what the situation. She did not do well around the other cats, she kept wanting to beat them up. She slowly started coming around and doesn't fight with the other cats anymore. Even started to relax. Her eyes weren't on alert all the time. She has a laundry basket she likes to sleep in or on the shelf above my desk.
But after bringing home the laser pointer the cat is instant on me using it all the time. She now sits beside me at my desk on the floor, just staring at the ground. If I flinch too much or try to pet her she sits up and starts moving her head very quickly looking for the light. At first I thought well maybe she's not getting enough stimulation being an indoor cat and kept at it. But her eyes are wide again all the time and seems on edge. If I try to pick her up she flips out and screams at me. I put her down and she's like... OMG did I miss the light. Searching all over for it. She will not let me walk. She stands in front of me and when I try to get around her she yells at me.
Should I stop using it or is it good for her to be getting some exercise.
