Is the red dot thing ok? It doesn't frustrate them? I've got a laser pointer but everyone says it's bad for them because they can't catch it.

One loves it and will go the full 15 min chasing. The other likes it for about 2 then gets frustrated and sulks. That are very different boys.

At the end of the chase, do you give them treats?

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

No. Void in particular is on a diet. There is no lunch or treats.
