As you know, Luna and Lily just LOVE their "kitty light". They're getting crazy when I even mention the word...


Anyway, I used to have one that works like a flashlight, with a little bulb inside. They love it, but the problem is, the batteries are always emptied after a couple of minutes, which is very frustrating for the girls.


So I got them a little laser pointer for Christmas. I heard before you're not supposed to look into the light beam. When it arrived, it had warning labels on the package, saying the same.

But how dangerous are these laser pointers? Is there only a health risk when the beam meets your eye? And does it already do any harm when this happens accidently, for a second or so?

my girls love the laser pointer; actually, they're begging for a playing session at the moment. But is it too risky to use it? Needless to say, I'm very careful with the use, but they are smart girls and already found out the "red spot" is coming from the little object in my hand, so they are looking at it (but the spot is not hitting their face when they do that).

What do you think?
