My cats sometimes get obsessed with some things, like phesant feathers, shoelaces and leather cords. All pretty normal. But they go absolutely mental when I shine a red laser pointer (by accident!) on the floor. What makes them go so crazy over the lazy light and can I carry on doing it, or is it too dangerous?

Kinda like elastic bands I suppose. Anyway, I don't suppose the lazer thing will do much harm so long as it doesn't shine in their eyes. I do a similar thing with my watch reflecting the sunshine, it drives my cats wild.
I would imagine its because a cats eye is pretty basic, it doesnt recognise colours in the same detail we do. Its pretty good but not as good as ours. Therefore big contrasts in light i.e. the watch reflection or laser attract the cats eye better than say a bit of string. Therefore the cat is able to track the laser with greater accuracy. a bit like if somebody is shining a tourch at us its more obvious to the eye and therefore gets a response.
