(That close to dinnertime, he tends to ignore offers of other play, such as a dangled piece of string.)<br /><br />The control on the pointer we have is a single button: hold it down to shine the light. This becomes uncomfortable fairly quickly. So I'm looking for a similar pointer (small, low wattage, and probably red) that has an on/off button, so I can play with the cat without having to exert constant pressure with my thumb. Can anyone recommend a model/supplier? I looked around online for reviews, and found a few sites that would tell me about things like how long the battery lasted and how wide the aperture is (some of these were for higher-powered lasers, which I really don't need) rather than discussing the controls.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=redbird&ditemid=1346303" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
