Computer users are too glued to their machines to take a dog out for a walk
so cats do nicely. I have 8 here (dam stray we adopted had a litter) and
they love watching the mouse pointer fly across the screen. They also love
sleeping on anything electronic thats warm like my DSS reciever, my moms
DishNetowrk reciever, on top of the old vcr etc.

Yes. My cat loves chasing the laser pointer. That $1 laser pointer
probably gives the cat more exercise than anything else...
I've noticed that cats and computer people seem to go together. Before
I upgraded, my cat used to love to sleep on the external hard drive
from my old Macintosh Centris 610. It was near the window, and when I
was using it, the drive would heat up, so the cat always slept there.
Now he primarily holds down the papers on my desk, or sleeps on my bed.

Still the best cat toy is laser light pointer,
they all love to go
after that spot of light.
I've have had an incredible amount of fun with a laser pointer and a
cat.
