I think turning cat chasing laser pointer into a game is brilliant and perfectly matches the theme. And might be a nice alternative for people who have no pets at home (or allergic) :)</p>\n<p>If you’d like to iterate on it further, it would be nice to add some tricks like salto jumps and emotions (happiness or frustration) to keep it more entertaining.
