I just can't find the right balance with my cat as far as playing with one.
So I just don't use them anymore. From a kitten she took to it instant and it was great but then came that awful, stressful, unheathly obsession.
Every reflection from the sun or my cell phone etc, got her climbing the walls.
Always takes a good month or two for her to stop chasing even shadows and I recently got a IR thermometer and aim dot got her going all over again.
I'm also in a apartment for now and it would be good for some exercise but she also bangs violently into walls and doors as nothing matters but that dot.
My cats sister on the other hand couldn't care less about one.
I hope people see the difference with play and unhealthy stressful play?:undecided:
