My husband, Ed, bought 10W Blue Laser For Lab for the sole purpose of using it to play with our four cats. Although my cats go crazy chasing the light around, I'm not sure they enjoy the game. Ed, bless his soul, bought the red laser pointer only so I can play with the cats. I am in a wheelchair and cannot run around the house with cats in the trailer. Any play I do with my cats should be from the confines of my wheelchair or sofa.
I remember hearing a speech you gave where you said that you are against using 3000mw laser pointer as cat toys and that it is best not to bring them home.
I want the best for my cats. At the same time, I want to be able to play with them. Please shed some light on the subject.
Laser pointers present a hazard only to the eyes. Although with most lasers emitting in the visible, the biggest concern is damage to the retina, most high power laser pointer are unlikely to cause permanent retinal damage.
The most likely effects after direct exposure to a Powerful 10000mw High Range Green Laser beam from a pointer are residual images, glare and blinding reflections. Glare is a short-lived visual impairment that occurs after being blinded by bright light. It's like looking directly at a light bulb and having your photo taken at the same time. This deficiency can take a few minutes.
