On: Entertaining Cat With A Laser (Patent)

[ck2]

How can you patent something that exists in two separate forms:

   1.  playing with cat
   2.  flashing a laser around

Or is that like mixing chocolate with peanut butter and making a new candy to patent?

There has to be prior art before 1995 no? (look how large that laser is! mine is the size of a AAA battery)

So can I patent making a ball out of tin-foil and throwing it around with my cat (she chases it like crazy).
