Cute comic, but for the unaware:

According to John Ciribassi, DVM, DACVB, the problem with laser pointers is that they lack an endpoint. Nothing is ever physically caught. Even if the cat is “successful,” there's no reward. Such pointless play, says Dr. Ciribassi, can cause some cats to develop a compulsive disorder.

Cats already have a behaviour disorder

Its why I usually put a prize in the room and when its over I point them toward it. A toy or a treat usually.

Ehh, they get the same thing "chasing" birds and squirrels outside a window, and they seem fine from that
