I tried the toy under paper thing when I went home early and it worked great - except as soon as she was bored she was eyeing my feet! I thought only kittens did this... Anyway I stopped play and she calmed down. Then play time again and very hyper. One day I will learn. We checked into the laser thing and will deffinately get one and try it so the play toy is very far from us!!! Oh Meka is NOT boring!!! Debbie
