    I once heard that laser pointers are bad for cats’ mental health: the tantalizing red dot that they just cannot catch.

    Best to let them see the dot “run away and escape” if they do chase one.

    I legit asked myself this when I would pretend to throw my dog’s ball or hide her toy under her blanket and then sneak it out and have her look for the toy when it’s not actually in the blanket. Does my audience think of me as God or think of themselves as stupid?

    I saw a meme a few weeks ago by a woman who was convinced that her cats cried for her to make the sun come out or to make it stop raining, not understanding that her powers are limited to light switches and the shower. I assume dogs are the same.

    I saw the title, and hoped someone was summoning Demons from the Key of Solomon or some shit. Like they were worried about their dog getting possessed.

    But yeah, “am I hurting my dog’s brain with a card trick” is pretty funny too
