Research indicates that when a cat spots a red dot, it activates their natural hunting instincts, causing them to pursue and capture it, just like they would with their prey. Although it's [[TruthInTelevision true]] and [[TropesInAggregate undeniable]] that our feline friends [[{{Stereotype}} enjoy these laser pointer games]], it's important to be aware that the laser light can cause significant harm to their eyesight, just as it can for humans. So, it's crucial to handle it with caution! [[red:So, it's crucial to handle it with caution!]]

Chasing the dot is one of the main things that makes a cat a cat. There's just something about it, on how it shines, and how it's all over the place and—[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny wait, it's over there, and now it's over there, oh my precious, get back here...]]*ahem* so where were we?
Studies show that when a cat sees a red dot, it triggers its predatory instincts to hunt, chase, and kill like what other cats do with their prey. While it is [[TruthInTelevision true]] and [[TropesInAggregate undeniable]] that our feline friends are [[{{Stereotype}} prone to such pointless pursuits]] of the laser pointer kind, the power of the laser light can damage their eyesight severely (much like it can severely damage human eyes). [[red:Use cautiously!]]
