More Amazing Products for Pets

I've been spending far too much blog space worrying and writing about stray cats. It's time for some fun, so I thought I'd feature a few of the latest sometimes cool, sometimes useless products for pets:




Umbrellas at Brolliesgalore. One for your dog

I think this is one of those items that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Some pets are notorious for gulping down their food only to barf it up a few minutes later. These three posts encourage your pet to dine at a more leisurely pace. Might also frustrate the hell out of them. Note to self: find out if this product is available for humans.

The "click on the bowl to see how it works" doesn't work for me.




Fun Run Outdoor Cat Enclosure

(via Aswan)


This outdoor enclosure is supposed to keep your cat safe from predators and getting lost or run over. But all I can think of when I look at it is:

1) The potential for it to roll down the driveway or lawn, and into the path of an oncoming car.

2) How a large dog might view this as a gigantic toy -- with a live kitty inside! Kind of like a Cracker Jack box for canines.

I would rub his belly!

Just like Joey and Maggie, at The Long and Short of it All: A Dachshund Dog News Magazine, I didn't know that it was David Duchovny's voice on the Pedigree commercials, saying,

"Rub my belly. Seriously. Rub it"

Is this why he's in rehab?

Golf balls found inside 'rattling' dog

Owner Chris Morrison had been taking five-year-old black labrador Oscar round the Pitreavie golf course in Dunfermline for several months.

He took Oscar to the vet after noticing a rattling sound coming from his pet's stomach.

They then discovered that 13 golf balls - each weighing 45 grams - were lodged in his stomach. One of the balls had been in his stomach so long that it had turned black and was decomposing.

The balls were removed two weeks ago in a successful hour-long operation.
