We have two dogs, one very young and one very old. The old one has arthritis but likes to try and keep up with the young one. When we go on walks we have to take a stroller with us because the old one gets too tired to make it back home and is too heavy to carry. We look silly, but at least she’s getting some exercise.

If you want to laugh at people using the ball chucker, then fine, come on over, I’ll have you pick up the slobbery ball.

Or scrap up the cat from the road who hasn’t been kept safely indoors or in an enclosure.

Idiot.

If you have a dog that loves riding motorcycles, as ours does, Doggles are a must to protect the pets eyesight!

Cats that are indoors-outdoors usually don’t last to the the average age because of traffic accidents, fighting with other cats, intentional acts of violence, poisoning (accidental or intentional), diseases caught from other cats, being picked up by animal control and subsequently euthanized if not claimed, and death caused by predators.

“Stray cats” AKA “feral cats” usually don’t live more than a couple of years because of starvation or all of the above.

i let my cat out to run about and that night he got into a cat fight and developed an abscess that cost me a fortune for vet bills. and another cat god attacked by a dog and killed – could have spared myself the heartache by confining my cats to my back yard and home only. it saves money and heartache

the cat tunnel is part of a system that includes towers and playpens and is rarely used on its own. it is a path from one place to another – like the cat door in your home to an outdoor bigger cage/playroom http://kittywalk.com/

you are supposed to create a fun playground for your cat and the tunnel is just one part of it.

The pet stroller has a practical use. I dont have a car so if i need to take a cat to the vet -an enclosed pet stroller is better than carrying a pet cage. the outdoor run is practical also, confining cats to an enclosure in the backyard is practical as they cannot annoy neighbours who complain about cat poo in their veggie patch. it also keeps cats safe from traffic and louts. I confine my cats to a cat run in the back yard . this also ensures my cats are safe. fleas are easy to control – i can treat 1 cat once and forever it gets rid of fleas on all cats in the enclosure [talking about the once a month hormonal flea treatments] also if a cat is ill it will run away and hide and you may never find it. in an enclosure you will always find your cat no matter how ill and be able to take it to the vet. I have pedigree silver persian cats and they would be highly sought after to steal so as long as they are in a cat enclosure there is no chance of theft. moggy cats are sometimes stolen by some people for food and fur. an enclosure makes sense too as there are cat laws in some places and i dont think anyone should tell me how many cats I am allowed to have. while they are in a cat run in the back yard – no one knows how many cats I have and the council cannot force me to destroy my cats because I have too many. i also dont pay cat registrations because the council think I dont have cats at all. it would be $30-00 a cat. I have so many because I used to breed them and they are now de *****ed and just my pets but I dont want any council laws to tell me i cannot have these cats for the rest of their lives. pet enclosures are the most intelligent things ever invented.

I thought the point of the chuck it was so you didn’t get slobber on your hands (useful if you have a St. Bernard or a Boxer) and so old people didn’t have to break their back bending over to pick up Rovers ball?

It would seem that in amongst the stupidity the idea has microbe of merit.

But I still wouldn’t get caught dead with one in my hands.

the gel nails they have for cats actually make sense, they blunt the end of the nail so kitty kitty cannot scratch up your precious posessions. the nail polish though is completely useless.

Few of these items the ball thrower is not one of the dumbest far far FROM it gives my dogs a lot of fun and they have get too the further away than if normally throw it and gives peers like myself whom can’t throw further than the ball would be if thrown by hand to see my dogs enjoy me throwing the ball rather than my support workers with the ball thrower these times for taking my dogs for a walk with this product is priceless. Also about other items I am against the pet trolley as it deny any normal animal to behave in a normal behavior of any household pet even if they have mobility probe even this product will make any household pet lazy togo out and about plus konk filler for those rubber balls that u can put food in is such a waste of money lol. Finally sunglasses for dogs dam right if I may say so I wish so official animal right charities
