Pet Products Review - Flexi Retractable leash for Cats

So ever think about taking your cat for a walk.  I'm sure they'd like it.  But it just seems so unnatural.  Mostly because up until now there have not been any products, leashes or even harnesses to take your feline for a promanade.

 

Well finally Flexy the world's leader in reliable well constructed retractable leashes hass developed a retractable leash just for cats.

The leash extends up to 10 feet and has two buttons right by the thumb that operate teh lock and secure the brake.

I used the leash with my cat stinky.  It did take a while.  At first we went only in the hallway of my building, but then I took him to the vet for his annual physical and vaccinations and used it as a back up to his crate.  It felt nice to have that extra protection should he get loose.

But I do have some hesitations about this leash.  Cats are very unpredictable, so I guess I cannot recommend walking your cat.  That's the first, Next, you need to have a harness.  If you don't have a harness, forget about it.  Also have patience.  This is something you would use after attempting to walk your cat in a small room for months.  Don't have high expectations up front. Drs. Foster and Smith have harnesses and the leash for about $19.  You can buy one at:  http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19954  They come in pink and black.

Pet Products Review - Jog A Dog Canine Treadmill

Breaking news! There are even more obese Americans than there are "overweight" Americans.  Yes, obesity in this country is a terrible national problem.  And guess what? its not limited to us humans, but our pet too.  We all need to start exercising! 

I've found the perfect new machine that will help your dog get the execise they need.  Jog A Dog is a treadmill designed exclusively for dogs.  Its amazing.  I want one.  I mean think about it, I'm am with my dog all day long, and even still, I don't have nearly the time he or I need for proper long walks.  I would love to have him spend 20, maybe 30 minutes a day jogging in front of a TV showing Animal Planet shows.
