Laser Chaser

[Z_Fan]

This is a clip of one of our cats. I posted this in the cat thread in the general section, but I guess it is better in the video section.

This cat is crazy. Unfortunately, he doesn't chase the laser any more. It was a limited time deal I guess. He started to jump extremely high as he grew up, and I think he was hurting himself when he landed. So, I stopped doing this with him, and he stopped being interested.

BUT, here's a rather unique video.

The problem with cats is that they can jump very high. This cat, and his brother were able to jump over my backyard fence when they were still kittens. {10 months old} The fence is 6 feet high.

Cat's pretty much always jump in two stages. First one they jump up, and use the rear claws to get the rest of the way. That's how they get up the fence...and is also why they aren't allowed out anymore. {All our cats are house cats, outside is a monitored priveledge}

When they go down from that height, they always slide their front feet down the surface, slowly dropping and then they jump. So they are only falling about 4 feet.

So, the problem with Cotton hurting himself is that he was jumping "all air' with no stopping point.

Uhm, yeah, and I was encouraging it a little. Basically, the video just shows him playing, and he's not jumping crazy high. But I used to hold the laser WAY UP the wall, about 5-6 feet. And with enough playing around, he would eventually jump for it [and hit it]. That's what was hurting him...when he came back to the ground because it was straight up and straight down to the lino. I figured it out when he stopped wanting to jump from the kitchen, but would jump from the carpet. :D
