...well yeah...but what I REALLY need is devices to make a cat exercise...thanks to my BF sneaking in Party Mix Treats, my cat went from 10lbs to 17lbs in ONE YEAR!! So now she has reduced calorie catfood, but she needs to get more active...she yawns at traditional toys and sneers at the laser light...

Brilliant!

The average mouse contains 100 calories, as is opposed to 360 calories in a cup of reduced-cal catfood...so...less calories AND exercise, since she has to chase them to eat them...

WHAT would I do without you...

I don't know. It's just more of my uncommon sense.

I remember watching a documentary one time about cats. One of the segments showed that a cat won't recognize a mouse as "food" unless, as a kitten, it had been taught to catch and eat mice by its mother. The cat may very well chance the mouse and play with it, perhaps even seriously injure or kill it... but they don't eat it.

Of course, cats are like many men, their appetites often bore quickly. They need new stimulation so, even if you give it a mouse or two, soon enough they'd be "old news" along with feathers, strings and laser pointers.

Next up on the "exercising my lazy ass cat" would be to give some other small, swift, totally terrified little critter, snake, lizard, gerbil, w/e. (ETA: oh, yeah, I forgot, jumping critters: grass-hoppers, for example. Those are great!)

But what I'd *really* recommend is either a) a kitten or b) a puppy. Oh, for sure, she'll get bored with them as well soon enough but THEY won't so easily or quickly bore of her!
