Automatic Toilet Flusher.

I saw this amazing ad for a great product….as a mother of five (toilet flushing challenged individuals…) I was thinking HEY – This looks AWESOME!  Seriously – who wouldn’t want something that did the following:

• Automatic Toilet Flusher just like those in Public Restrooms
• Includes 4 Built-In Flushing Functions
• Flushing Function 1: Sensor Flush with Adjustable Distance Sensor flushes when you Walk away from the Toilet
• Flushing Function 2: Sensor Flush Plus Delay - Flushes Toilet with Sensor plus Additional 7 Second Delay
• Flushing Function 3: Touch-Free Hand-Wave Flush - Flushes your Toilet with the Wave of your Hand in Front of Sensor
• Flushing Function 4: Automatic 24 Hour Flush - Flushes Once a Day while you Travel
• Installs in Less then 10 Minutes
• Fits Virtually All Toilets in the U.S. & Canada
• Batteries Included that last for up to 100,000 Flushes!

Amiright?  Honestly – every mother’s dream come true, right?

Right?

Except when you realize the product is marketed for use by Cats.

That’s right – cats.

There’s not a rule that says I can’t buy it anyway and install it for my kittens right?  I’ll even make them use a fuzzy headband with pointed ears and tail if needed. 

Notice I didn’t even MENTION the fact that there are people out there toilet training their cats.  There were no “Meet the Parents” references.  I think I should also get credit for NOT posting this video from their website.  I also haven’t mentioned anything about the toilet training kit for Cats.  Not a word.  I’ve really grown in maturity don’t you think?

Puppy Ramps

I’ve fallen victim to many infomercials over the years.

Magic Bullet – Yea, I’ve got one.

Sham Wow – yep, got one of those too.

Mighty Putty…we’ll call that one a memorial purchase in honor of the late Billy Mays.

One thing I’ve found infomercials do really, really well is convincing poor sleep deprived members of society that they simply cannot live another moment without _________ (fill in the blank here).

My latest infomercial almost buy?

(I say almost here, because I did come to my senses…before I picked up the phone, thankyou.)

In case you don’t know, I recently adopted a puppy…well she’s five years old, but she’s puppy sized.  She really likes to sit on the bed, on the couch, etc…but she’s tiny, so getting up onto them is sometimes difficult for her.

So, there is this designer line of puppy ramps so that your small dog doesn’t have to feel left out and CAN get up on the furniture…

They come in “standard” and “designer” both products are represented here.  I think the difference is in color…and price.

So how much will one of these little ramps set you back?

$225.00 for the second one shown.

*ack* *cough* *choke* *other inaudible sounds and words…*

On second thought, she doesn’t need to sleep on my couch that bad.

Pampered Kitty

I had a cat growing up.

Actually I had two.  Abby (who hated everyone) and Rambo (who hated Abby).  It was great fun.

Anyway, we had one of those covered litter boxes that looks kind of like a dog kennel. 

Nothing. Like. This.  After all – we were normal people.

Well, pretty normal anyway – current state of mind not considered.

Litter Kwitter

Sorry for two pet posts in a row…okay, no I’m not – sorry that is.

Have a cat?  Hate changing the litterbox?

Stop complaining and do something about it.

Train them to use the toilet, using the Litter Kwitter of course.

See.  Mr. Jynx a.k.a. Jinxie  isn’t the only toilet talented feline.

(ok, if you don’t know who Mr. Jynx is … you really need help … and you need to rent “Meet The Parents” immediately.)
