He likes the warmth put out by the freezer, in our current cooler conditions. And the eye display went unnoticed by me initially but is truly weird. Which is typical for Wowbagger. He’s been fully charged and discharged and recharged a few times now, and seems none the worse for wear. I’ve immensely enjoyed seeing other cat charging stations here in this thread. Thanks! ---

More precisely, on a randomly-chosen basement step. I took to skipping all of them, just to be safe. And **dwyr** , I think I saw that in a Gygax module once. The cat never moves, but just shoots disintegration beams at intruders, right? ---

Oh, how I wish. But she also likes to leave little landmines when she’s annoyed with me. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Do Photon Cats chase laser pointer spots? yes, but in a very desultory manner. The dog gets much more excited by the laser pointer than Wowbagger does. ---
