    “…after doing a looooooot of debugging…” – You’ll probably hate me for mentioning the arduino, but it takes around 5minutes to code a simple servo rotator since the library for controlling servos is embedded. Or one minute with the example code :3

    Attach reflector tape to your cat and mod the laser with that diode so it knows when your cat gets the laser and moves right away!

    @johnfranks This seems to be a normal class 2 laser pointer. This should be absolutely harmless for the eyes of the cat if it doesn’t stare into it for seconds and cats normally don’t stare into a laser beam for seconds.

    But this toy proably won’t work with my cat, because he would pull out the cables.

    But maybe I will just buy a cheap robot and attach a laser pointer to it.

    i think they believe it’s a bug, that’s why they try and catch it.

    what is it with cats and lasers. They always try and kill it, rip half the couch up whilst attempting too.

    pikachu would probably prefer you add some blanking so he/she doesn’t get his/her eye poked out by the laser. plus, i can keep my dogs’ interested a lot longer if they think they caught the laser!
