If you love cats but are low on space, the Curve Wall-Mounted Pet Bed by designer Akemi Tanaka might be the solution for you.

Not only does it save space by giving you the freedom to mount multiple beds, it also has the added benefit of turning your kitty into wall art! Who needs digital photo frames when you have a real-life feline gallery?

Let your feline friend channel her inner Cher with Kitty Wigs!

These specially-made wigs for cats are meant to bring you and your kitty closer. Play dress-up, glam her up for photo shoots, that sorta thing. I’m not kidding, Kitty Wigs have been featured in Business Week, the L.A. Times and even The Tonight Show!

My peronal fave is the Pink Passion Kitty Wig, which promises to make your gal feel “elegant, modern and quintessentially feline.” It’s the purrfect pet accessory.

Just excercise caution when trying on Fluffy’s wig for the first time and always keep it in its protective case when not in use. You know, so your little friend doesn’t turn the Kitty Wig into a kitty casualty.

French entrepreneur Romain Jarry has come up with a new way to wash and fluff Fido. Just load him into the Dog-o-Matic and let the groovy grooming begin.

This doggy washing machine was originally introduced in St. Max, France and was such a success that the inventor hopes to bring this pint-sized pet wash to Britain in 2010.

How it works:

The washing itself is quick, but the drying time takes a bit longer.

You can even clean cats, though I have a feeling that won’t go over so well with the feline persuasion.

The inventor insists the animals do not suffer any discomfort while in the Dog-o-Matic. I certainly hope so, but judging from the pawsitively terrified look of that doggie in the window, I may have to keep washing my pooch the traditional way…at least for now.

I have two very old cats (15 and 19 years old) and know that cutting their nails can be very difficult.

Trimming a pet’s nails at times irrespective of the age can be challenging. However the older they get, the more sensitive they tend to be around people touching their paws and nails.

Last week while sitting in the dentist office, I saw an advertisement for PediPaws, a device that will help me with my nail trimming challenges. With PediPaws, it is easy for you to trim the nails of your pet without any pain. Traditional nail clippers are not precise and at times can cause your pet pain. The technology behind this device allows you to precisely control the instrument so that the nails of your pet are trimmed quickly and gently.

Sounds like the perfect solution for my problem.

• Precision emery filing wheel gently removes thin layers of nail
• Appropriate for dogs and cats of any age or size
• Requires 2 C batteries (sold separately)

One may first assume that all dogs can naturally swim, hence the doggy paddle…  but, some may not be able to because of injury or physical reasons.  And remember,  just because your animal is a dog, don’t think it can swim on it’s own forever!  Just like humans, they get tired and drown.  If your taking your dog down river or just out fishing on the lake, if you are wearing a life vest, then the dog should too.

The Fido Float is a closed cell foam vest that provides ample buoyancy, while its U shaped collar keeps your dog’s head above water.  There is also an assistance handle for helping your pet out of the water or if you just need to grab your dog quickly.  The dog life vest is easy to take on and off (even while wet) and is made to withstand ruff water conditions to resist wear and tear.

Highlights:

• The stylish swim aid for dogs
• Contour fit dog life vest helps your dog float
• Specially placed handles make it easier to pick your pet up out of the water
• Full length zipper makes Fido Float easy to put on and take off
• Lightweight and durable
• Offered in sizes for every canine companion
