Playing with cats
If you ever used one of those small laser devices to play with your cat... know that you might be infringing on a patent.
Directly from the USPTO patent grant, I quote:
"A method for inducing cats to exercise consists of directing a beam of invisible light produced by a hand-held laser apparatus onto the floor or wall or other opaque surface in the vicinity of the cat, then moving the laser so as to cause the bright pattern of light to move in an irregular way fascinating to cats, and to any other animal with a chase instinct."
Well, meow.
