From the E-Mail Bag: I was listening when you read a letter from a listener who was looking for an automatic laser toy for his cat/dog -memory,schmemory. I had happened to browse through a co-workers catalog earlier in the week and had seen this (ba-da-beam cat toy from the drs. foster and smith catalog) Perhaps this would be an answer for the listener and/or for your own dog Fareway. SS
SS is right. Although I have played it myself, this seems like a a pretty nifty gadget at a reasonable price!
This cat toy's automatic laser chaser keeps your cat on the prowl. The laser dot, which circles, pauses, and then circles again, cannot be caught - which keeps your cat moving. The Ba-Da-Beam features a rotating laser that can be directed into one of two adjustable positions - straight ahead for wall use, or downward toward the floor. Set the toy where you want it, flip open the mirrored lid, and lock the lid into either position to direct the laser. Durable plastic housing includes an automatic shut-off feature that turns the cycle off after 15 minutes of continual use. Requires 3 AA batteries (included). Measures 4-1/2" diameter by 3-3/4" high. Green. $15.99
