Question: Why do cats go after lazers?

Stephen Davitt answered on 15 Nov 2016:

Lasers are very bright and cats don’t really understand them so when they see the dot it catches their eye and naturally they want to catch it!

But do be careful when playing with lasers and animals, only ever use red lasers and only lasers that are not too bright, afterall lasers are dangerous and it could go into your pets eye and blind them and no one would want that!
