How to excerise your cat in three easy steps.

Step One:  Cut and tie a string to your child's ride on toy.

Step Two: Encourage your child to ride the toy and make sure the cat(s) see the string dragging.

Step Three:  Sit back and laugh your head off as your child giggles away and your cat(s) go crazy trying to catch that string.

Optional Step Four:  Pull out the video camera and submit to a home video show or you tube.

I find this a sure fire way to keep both kids and animals out of your hair for at least a half an hour.

Laser pointers, kids and cats work out well together too.  Ever seen a cat repeatedly run into the couch head first trying to get something?
