Lasers are synonymous with excitement for cats. Because it stands for: fast moving prey. Cats always have a hunting instinct, even if they don't have to work hard for food. When the laser's red dot darts across the room, the cat instinctively interprets it as a small animal trying to run and hide. That's where the cat's own behavior comes in -- it's innate hunting, raiding and killing. Whether it's a projection or not doesn't matter, because the cat is on autopilot by instinct rather than brain.
There is another important factor at play when cats chase lasers, and that is that lasers "look" attractive to cats. To understand why, you need a basic understanding of how cats' eyes act and how they differ from human eyes. Specifically, a bright pattern produced by a handheld (and now seemingly automatic) laser device is then moved around, and the light attracts cats and other chasing animals in irregular ways (dogs are said to dislike it), directing it to a floor or wall or other opaque surface near the cat. Increase the amount of exercise your cat does, so that cats who have no energy to vent can exercise. Make inactive cats less likely to become obese and obese cats less likely to lose weight.
Depicts the balloons that pop up, in which there are more than 30 balloons in a row. If you see videos like this, you might start to understand why lasers are useful tools, but they're also fun. Frustrating cats and even causing behavioral problems. Because when cats hunt, they don't always succeed, but every now and then they do. But the insubstantial green laser pointer specks that trigger a cat's predatory instinct are unlikely to offer a tangible reward. This can lead to frustration and even anxiety. Cats, on the other hand, may deal with their emotional problems by damaging furniture or hurting their pooper.
