Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for June 18, 2011

Oops…..douse that light!

My cat goes whackoo when I tease him with a laser light. He will turn around in circles trying to catch the little dot of a light. Funny!

Love the Richard Nixon dog diving in the last panel.

I guess a certain dog forgot that a dog’s brain can be quite primitive.

I shine the laser pointer onto the cat and wait for the dog to notice. Always a blast of fun.

Never underestimate dogs; my cocker spaniels had a sense of humour and quite often tried to trick me.

I do the laser light red dot to my cat as well. LOL the 12 yr old cat just sits there,, “yeah its a red light big deal” the 3 yr old cat “OMG its back get it, get it, get it!”

Only a box for the dogs. I think these cats are too smart for this one.

BTW, no wonder dogs and cats sleep all day!!!

When I lead my wife’s cat in circles with the laser pointer, I call it “winding him up.”

Keltii: At my house, too! ; ) The younger one went bonkers for it. The older one looked at the light, the young cat, and then me – stared me right in the eye as if to say, “YOU are doing that,” and went back to grooming.

As with Keltii and T_Lexi, I know a cat who is totally impervious to the appeal of a laser pointer. I think it is not coincidence that the cat is brilliant, the second-smartest I’ve ever known, with the nickname of Science Cat.

(Nobody could be smarter than my sorely-missed Juggernaut who I’m convinced read newspapers when nobody was looking.)

Houston, we have a problem!
