you all have me laughing so hard!!
last night i had 5 cats, yes 5, on my bed trying in vain to catch the light. the funniest is when i shine it on one of their behinds and they all go after it!
amycat---you should try the laser. my cats also like a flashlight but get bored easily with it. the laser is much more defined and since it is red, i think that might help get their attention.
(or maybe they can't even see the color red, i don't know!)
