Reply #10: One of my kitties figured out how to work a pull-string toy

[TimeChaser]

She also likes to pull the emergency stop key on the treadmill when someone's using it. And she was the first to figure out that the little red dot came from the laser pointer in my hand.

That doesn't mean she never chases the laser pointer, though. Kitties have really strong predatory instinct, and when something triggers it, they attack. But it doesn't mean they're stupid. Hell, sometimes it's even hard for humans to overcome instinct.
