"When you do prototypes and designs and electrical engineering for a living, your hobby has to be even more complicated." Only people like 'us' understand how our hobby has to be more complicated than your job. That is a great way to spot an engineer.
Awesome idea, funny video, but in the end this could be a very dangerous 'toy' for cats. Laser pointers are in fact lasers, one shot to the eye and you or the cat could damage your vision permanently or even blind yourself! This is fairly easy to watch for when you are operating the laser (still have to be very attentive, critters move quickly), but unattended it couldn't end badly. A small, focus-able flashlight, would probably give similar results, cats will gladly chase them as well.
Good idea, not so good in practice. Know to mess with both dogs and cats. Some even irreversibly mentally damaged from laser-pointers. Something with the chase and never being able to catch it that messes with them.
Problem is that some cats are only allowed to be in-door or only can be in-door due to unsuitable outdoor environment (climate, bad neighbourhood, living in an apartment complex). Cats that can be outdoor in suitable areas rarely get overweight.
This is my favourite episode so far, a simple yet interesting project that can easily be replicated and used in many different ways. Good one Ben
Good sir! The Jabba cat a the end KILLED ME! Genius.
Somebody give this guy an award

The jabba cat is the funniest thing I've seen for years!

Great show.. always love seeing new episodes..As others have expressed, the Jabba thing was freaken hilarious..lol
Those cheap laserpointers have more output when overpowered. I think a LED + Focus lens would be safer for the cat. And you can also use a RGB one.
Another way to make your cats fit is to put an electric collar on them (which I don't do) and let them roam the yard.
That sure was a lucky coincidence that you got that text message that gave you the idea for this project while you were filming.
Nice job, Ben!
"I have an entire garage filled with this crap"
every cat ever.

Ben you are the best.

Behold Jabba the cat!
I lost it when i heard Jabba cat.
You are a geek and thats why your my hero :D

Jesus Christ, Ben. You're a fucking genius.

@Jorgie0101 Agreed!
Ben, great show, I thought the Jabba bit was particularly funny.
@mRwhite298 get some kind of cooling system for it. cause its over heating and thats what causes the RROD.

So basically, fattie didnt fall for it when u brought it over, eh? Lucky, u had a backup plan :P
i wish my cat could talk like that!
why the hell do you love pinball so much
It seems lasers are both dogs and cats akelys-heel. I put a laser dot on the wall for my dog and he can't resist trying to bite it.
says the kid that corrected keykjokey first, even if you were wrong, your intent was to "correct" him.
