Well since cats are carnivores, is it cruel to have a cat chase a laser pen mousey when they can never actually catch the mouse?

Love this question! For our domesticated kitties, it's really stimulating for them to be able to follow that drive they have for chasing (and animals have been known to chase for fun in the wild as well). It's a great way to give a cat what it needs without having it go outdoors and chase/eat wild birds.
