Special Pet Products
Check out this interesting piece from the New York Times…
Back in March, I wrote about a wily raccoon that kept sneaking into our house through a swinging cat door.
We thought we had solved the problem by installing a new door that opens by radio frequency emitted from the tags on our cats’ collars. The only problem was that the cats hated the noise the door made and refused to use it.
We hoped they’d get used to it.
But six months later, Archie and Lily still view it with the same petrified stare as they did in the beginning.
That made me wonder about other pet problems and the products that owners buy to solve them.
There’s a caveat. What works for one pet may prove disastrous for another: different pets, different temperaments and different owners. Nonetheless, it can be useful to hear what some animal behavior experts and longtime pet owners suggest — or don’t — and why.
