Pet Follies

Kittens are cute – then again, so are most of the creatures around in “baby” mode. Well, add that to the miniature plants we cultivate as bonsais, and you might have a cuteness winner here – the $19.99 Bonsai Kitty Plush, so to speak. This is definitely one amazing Internet meme that is just ready to enter into your physical realm, giving you your very own adorable bonsai kitten. There is nothing cruel about bringing one of these kitties home, since no animals were harmed in the process of manufacturing it on a mass basis.

I am not quite sure about you, but if your pooch is a drooler and has a super long tongue hanging out all the time while looking daft, you will most probably find it to be a turn off to smooch. Why not lessen the impact with this super funny £10.99 Humunga Lips? Yes sir, lips tend to follow the mantra, “bigger is better”, so why not equip your dog with one set of this for a really funny photo shoot? Definitely a crazy toy that comes from the very same people who brought you the Humunga Stache. Basically, the Humunga Lips will appeal to dogs who love to play fetch, as it is actually a non-toxic rubber ball that has a pair of lips moulded on to it.

I suppose those who have gone to some countries in South East Asia would definitely have come across a snack that most people might find repulsive – that would mean eating insects. Good to know that these insects are not caught fresh from the fields, but rather, they are baked to perfection.

At £6.99 per packet, you will be able to chew on baked crickers that are farm-raised, and they certainly make for an interesting alternative to fatty crisps and salty nuts, don’t you think so? If you’re rather pissed off that your mates tend to take some of your snacks all the time, then why not gross them out with a packet of these Insect Snacks so that you can have it all to yourself?

You might work your whole life and still cannot afford a pink Cadillac for the family, but perhaps you can choose to live out the sight of seeing your dream car at home – by purchasing this £14.95 Cat Play House that has been modeled after what else, but a pink Cadillac. This is a folded cardboard Cadillac toy that was made by Suck UK, where it was specially manufactured for cats and their owners to enjoy. After all, cats tend to go nuts in cardboard boxes, so here’s a Cadillac whose paint job you don’t mind getting all scratched up.

If you already own a goofy looking dog, why not go the extra mile and make sure he/she is goofed up to the max in terms of looks with the Humunga Tongue Dog Toy? Yes sir, this is a unique kind of dog toy that allows your pooch to play fetch all day long, burning up the excess energy, while looking cute as all get out in the process. This catch toy will make your dog look as if it has a super long, slobbery tongue, like those you see in cartoons and animated movies. Made out of natural rubber which is non-toxic in nature, the 10″ Humunga Tongue Dog Toy will cost you $12.99, in exchange for hours of fun and cool photos.

Since having a mustache in your culture is the manly thing (which explains why you have never purchased a shaver in your entire life), why not make sure your pooch is able to keep up with his master? Yes, that is right – I’m talking about the Humunga Stache Dog Toy which will certainly be a hoot whenever you want to capture some really crazy pictures of both master and dog. This is actually a catch/fetch-it ball that sports a large handlebar mustache all in one, and we would recommend getting this only if your pooch is not black in color, like those black Labradors, otherwise you might not be able to see much. Made from non-toxic natural rubber, this $12.99 dog toy is certainly worth laughing over.

You know how people love to mount their hunting spoil in their living rooms as part of their trophy collection in the past? Well, here is a much more environmentally friendly manner of doing so, in the form of the Inflatable Shark Head although it won’t win the respect of real hunters. At least you can boast to those snooty folk that your efforts has ensured that one more shark is out there in the wild because you deliberately chose not to skin one of these awesome nature machines, right? The $24.95 price tag might be a wee bit hard to justify to the missus though.

If you’re a huge fan of microblogging site Twitter, then here’s some news for you – the Ollie Twitter Mascot Collectible can now be yours, all for the low, low price of $19.95. Hey, this is a capitalist economy after all, and you do have a choice of not purchasing one of these puppies if you don’t want to, right? Rotocast in high quality material, this adorable blue bird is rather limited in quantity, and Ollie who measures 4″ tall will need no maintenance unlike other kinds of pet birds that you might already own. When’s the fail whale going to be released, hmmm?

You know how ridiculous things have gotten when it comes to accessories for pets? Yeah, we’re talking about shoes for your dog, as well as strawberry shaped cushions, as well as other cutesy stuff which makes the dog more human than, well, a human. Which is wrong, since you’re supposed to be the pack leader and your pooch is nothing but a loyal follower – so there is nothing wrong in letting a dog being a dog, sleeping on the floor in his own little space.

Well, just in case your technologically advanced home feels as though Fido needs to keep up with the times, there is always the Plush i’Pawd. Obviously, the name of this gives the game away, where your dog has his own ‘iPad’ for $13.99.
