There is a red laser beam thing that cats are supposed to love to chase. My wife bought one and flashes it all over the place for the cats to chase. The white shreds on the carpet are off the scratch gizmo on the far left of the photo - the cats tear it apart with their front claws several times a day to keep the ever-growing claws worn down a tad.

The red dot was flying aound when I snapped this shot. The Sweet Babycakes is laid up by the front door waiting for the red laser beam to come back so that she can kill it in a corner. Her brother Trouble is sprawled out and the huge tom is not very interested. Their mother Mister Mittens is focused on the "red dot" on a wall as somebody that used to eat stuff on the street by catching it and killing it.

Three house cats. Three great feline creatures. And yes, the tom is a huge mummy but the nicest fellow you could ever run into if you like cats.

Trouble is unfazed...waiting to escape to see "stuff" outside
