I can't stop playing with this cheap, no-contact, IR

my Kindle get warm if left on? Does raccoon in the driveway have a fever?
Point the red dot at something, the read out on the back of this AAA powered, pistol inspired thermometer tells you how hot, or not, something is. You can turn that laser pointer on or off. You can
also switch the readout from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and back, with the touch of a button. It does exactly what I needed, and has become a fun toy.
My cat, Heart, also enjoys the laser pointer. Thermometer says the spot he just vacated, seconds ago,
on my chair is around 101F.
