There are close to a million choices when it comes to bowl feeders for your dog. Most are of the plain jane variety, either stainless steel or hard plastic. A few are ceramic and have painted designs on them. But what about those people who leave their dog’s bowls out all day and are interested [...]
The FroliCat BOLT Automatic Laser Light Review
There aren’t many things more amusing than watching a kitten chase a laser pointer’s dot. Kittties are playful and energetic to begin with, but giving them an impossible to catch “mouse” creates a game which never seems to tire them. My cat Avah is two years old, and while she no longer has quite the [...]
CatGenie Self-Flushing Self-Washing Cat Box Review
Cats make great pets because they don’t require a lot of attention like dogs do. Just give them a bowl of food and a pan of litter, and they can pretty much take care of themselves. The only down side to having an indoor kitty is that we humans have to clean their ‘toilet’ for [...]

According to the packaging, the treats launch in random directions so the dog is “never bored”. You’re probably asking [...]
Soft Claws For Cats: Doing the Humane Thing
When Sarah and I first got Avah, one of the conditions (beyond that we would take turns cleaning out her litter box in those pre Litter-Robot days) was that we get her declawed. My only justification looking back, was that we don’t have leather furniture, and I didn’t want our chenille sofas to be shredded [...]
The Litter-Robot Review
Of all the gadgets which I have ever reviewed, I think that the Litter-Robot would definitely win the title of most offbeat, but it was well worth doing. In late January, I unboxed the Litter-Robot, set it up, and then sat back to see whether Avah would accept this “spaceship” as her litter box. It [...]
Unboxing the Litter-Robot
If you own a cat, then you know that there is one part of pet ownership that can suck the joy out of the experience. No, I am not talking about hearing your cat hacking up hairballs in the middle of the night while she is sleeping on the bed next to you (not that [...]
Technology in Pet Sitting Exists!
One of the things that I dislike about going out of town is having to take my pets to the boarder; Gizmo usually tries to hide (and then seethes for days after my return), and Avah also makes her displeasure known by hiding before the fact and then ignoring me afterwards. It’s like they know [...]
