A quick pause from my regular “Pet Care” blogging to bring you some exciting news… Beau finally started playing with laser pointers! We’ve had Beau for almost 3 years now and in all that time he has never shown any interest in laser pointer. His brother (now I guess cousin…) Walker is a huge fan of them and has actually been the primary tester for all things laser!
Even though Beau doesn’t usually go for laser pointers we’ve still bought toys like the BOLT Automatic Laser Pointer and DART Automatic Laser Pointer because we knew, even if he didn’t like them… well, Walker would! So this week we actually borrowed the BOLT from Walker and tried it on Kalista (who is an even bigger fan than Walker! Who knew that was possible!!)
So pet parents, have any of you had instances like this where one of your cats teaches the other cat to play with a toy? I surely can’t be the only one to experience such a miracle!

Good luck with that laser exercise!

June 4, 2018 at 10:47 amThat’s super awesome though! I will Beau would teach Kalista to want to cuddle… but it seems she’s more like Walker and likes to squirm instead.
