Why does my cat try to swat at it, yet my dog tries to eat it?

Yep. Cats are sadistic, they will play with their prey for a while before they eat it.

Dogs just want a free meal.

I don't advise pointing one at George W. for the reason that you would be tackled by the Secret Service, but can you imagine what he would do if he saw a red dot on the podium in front of him? He'd be swatting at it too!

I used to work at Bass Pro at the gun counter. We'd take the laser pistol sights and shine them into the trout pool at the end of the counter. They'd freak the F out.

No, I think he'd try to eat it.

my cat loves the laser pointer.

i only do it in small doses, as to keep him from getting suspicious and remain interested in it.
