This was one of the gifts which found its way into the smaller portion's Christmas stocking.
It came from National Geographic and is a pen, a torch, and a laser pointer.
He, and the cats have had a heap of fun with it. The cats sit and look wistful until one or other of us turns it on and gives them a game.
In this short, and less than wonderful video it is Jazz playing. For about the fifteenth time in a couple of hours. He was remarkably lack-lustre to begin with, but did regain his spark.
It has another benefit too. A few nights ago Jazz jumped Jewel. She escaped. Jazz HATES to be thwarted. He started to approach me, singing, with his ears flattened. Which, in the past has meant he will attack me. And I will bleed. This time, the skinny one distracted him with the laser pointer - and none of my blood was shed.
A present for the smaller portion, a present for the cats, and a present for me.
