While the jury is still out on whether dogs use their sense of sight more than smell, it is pretty ridiculous to let Fido wear this LED Lighted Dog Collar when taking him for an early morning/night walk. After all, if he’s leashed to you, won’t you be the one carrying a torch instead? Unless you don’t mind letting Fido loose to do his own thing, which he probably won’t need the light at all since he’ll be too busy sniffing the area instead of relying on visual cues like us humans do. I would like to have full control of where my flashlight is pointed at, thank you very much, and would not want Fido to do the carrying for me. Still, if you want to bring home the LED Lighted Dog Collar, feel free to part with $40.

Dogs walk, fish swim, bird fly, but cats? Well, they just laze around the home, snoozing most of the time while acting as though they’re the boss of the home. For cat lovers who love to placate their favorite feline with nothing but the best now have another way to splash their cash - on this Cat Playhouse. Being nothing more than a glorified cardboard box, you will be able to choose from an aeroplane, tank or fire engine design. Not that it matters to the cat, but I guess you can always dress up your kitty in the relevant clothing (a pilot suit or a fireman’s gear) to capture images before entering the umpteenth pet photo taking competition. Is this worth £14.99? Only you can tell, and at least you can stack up your Cat DVDs right beside it when not in use.

Maybe my dog is just a serious coward, but personally if I bought a dog bowl that had the recording of the sound of my voice that talked when he knew I was gone he’d end up wetting himself. That or he’d search the entire house trying to find me. Granted it wouldn’t stop him from eating, because well he is a pug and nothing can stop a pug from eating. Either way, I don’t really see a dog being comforted by the sound of your voice in his food bowl.

Are cats really that crazy to chase after things? After all, we’ve seen how the Cat DVD is supposed to keep your feline friend occuppied whenever you are not around, but those who want to save on some dollars in these belt tightening times, here is the Cat Fishing Rod & Reel. With this, you can fling catnip-infused toys up to 40 feet away, sending your cat scampering after it only to come running back to you as you reel in the toy. Something tells me the cat will win out most of the time since you won’t be able to reel in faster than a cat can chase down its “prey”. Ah well, at least this $21.95 will force you to spend some bonding time with your pet in advanced payment of future neglect when Wrath of the Lich King is released on the 13th next month.

We all know that cats have a mind of their own, and they tend to boss owners around instead of being of any use around the home (since most modern homes do not have an infestation of rats and mice). Why not keep the little critter occupied while you’re trying to get some quiet time for yourself with the Cat DVD? This is one interesting DVD that helps keep your feline friend mesmerized for hours on end - it features segments with mice running, butterflies fluttering, squirrels playing, laser lightshows dazzling, fish swimming, and it all begins with the sounds of purring kittens. I’m not too sure whether having images of animals on a screen is a good idea, since those more frenzied cats might attempt to swipe at the fake fish they view, hence leaving some heartbreaking and very noticeable scratches around your brand new HDTV’s display. The marketing pitch for this Cat DVD touts that cats are as emotional as humans, and can enter depression if they get too bored in a home, hence the Cat DVD. With each Cat DVD containing more than 3 hours of exclusive footage, at least you can help keep your cat occupied. I’d rather place a hamster in a running ball and let the cat try to catch the hamster instead - at least both animals get ample exercise when I’m not around without the hamster being mauled.

You know you’ve gotten far too obsessed with your iPhone when you start buying a toy for your dog meant to resemble the iPhone. Slightly more squishy and with far less functions than your iPhone, but it does resemble it nonetheless. The only real function it has is that it will squeak as your pup plays with it. It measures 6” x 4” x 1” and will cost you $11.95 from Chimpfeet.

While Junior gets all dressed up for trick or treat this Halloween, why not let Fido join in the fun? PetSmart has tons of costumes that won’t break the monthly budget, among them Disney character costumes such as Snow White, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, along with traditional orange- and black-themed collars, hats and tees. Dogs can choose from exclusive Pumpkin, Devil and Witch costumes, while felines have Jester, Cowboy and (how ironic) Mouse styles. Prices won’t breach the $20 mark, so breathe easy.

While many of us take good care of our pets, I don’t think the majority will go all out and send their pets to pet spas and pet restaurants, right? Not especially during these times of economic hardship with the shadow of a recession looming right over our heads. Why not fork out $19.98 instead to pamper your pet with the Vibrating Pet Massage Glove? While other more deviant minds might think of kinkier uses with this, straight thinking folk will soothe Fido or Muffin’s body with this portable fleece glove. Suitable for use on felines and canines only, so don’t try massaging your pet python with it.

One obnoxious aspect of using your laptop for long periods is if placed on your lap, you soon feel as if you’re sitting in a sauna. All depending on the laptop, some are worse or better than others. Since laptops do tend to get hot, a cooling pad would be a logical purchase. Yet, I’m sure most when searching for one would not be on the lookout for the overly angry cartoon dog shown here. Even dog lovers would likely find the cooling pad going a bit overboard. To pick one up it will cost you $25 from Gadget4all.

This is absolutely hilarious - the Control A Cat remote control. Don’t you just hate it that cats somehow have a mind of their own and answer to nobody? Well, perhaps with this Control A Cat remote control, your woes will end. I highly doubt it though since it is powered by positive thinking - all you need to do is point it at any pesky feline and press the appropriate button while channeling your thoughts through the remote. Chances are it won’t work since cats are believed to be a higher alien life form sent to watch and observe us humans. No refunds for spending $9.99 on this - you know what they say, a fool and his money are soon parted…
