Arm chair exercises

I noticed when BoB was sitting on my lap at work (as he gets bigger and bigger it's getting less and less lol) anyway as I'm working at the computer he watches the cursor go across the screen from one screen to the other. So I bought a laser pointer and he is just like a cat at home chasing it around the room or around the garden it's got to be one of the funniest things I have seen in ages and if it's gloomy out I get him chasing it over the park as well

Be careful not to OD on this.

Animals can get very OCD on this and start exhibiting the same behaviours with sunlight, reflections etc and it can be extremely debilitating.

I am sure you will not, but jic you were not aware........

Thanks for the advice I have only used it a couple of times but now you have warned me of the harm it can do the pointer will go in a draw and stay there.

I used to have a cat who loved lying on top of the PC monitor (back before they all went thin-screeny), dangling his head and paws over the top and trying to catch the mouse cursor.

Made typing lesson plans a bit of a challenge working around the kitty ears and wailing arms!
