Etsy seller Ruth Marcus is offering this portrait of Spock holding a cat, accompanied by the following description which is basically what you would expect from someone who is selling a portrait of Spock holding a cat:
As a dedicated scientist, Mini feels a deep connection with Spock. Their bond is celebrated here by a customized, acrylic pet-celebrity portrait.
If you want in on the action, Ruth will create a customized acrylic portrait of your pet with any celebrity “who is awesome and whose picture is readily available”.

In an effort to reduce the number of sh*t-filled plastic bags in trash cans, scientist Oded Shoseyov created this portable AshPoopie pooper scooper that reduces your dog’s leavings to a sterile, odorless ash. The actual operation of the device seems to be shrouded in secrecy, but apparently after the poop is scooped, it’s combined with the contents of a replaceable cartridge and what looks like a set of rotating paddles. After some mysterious magic, the ash is created.
The company behind the product hopes to unveil the AshPoopie at the GlobalPet Expo in Orlando, Fla., in February, 2012 before expanding the technology to deal with litter boxes and even human waste.
As great as all this is, we still need a product that will actually encourage people to clean their dog’s turds off the sidewalk. I’d call it “Shoesaver”.

Want your cat to take a dump like a man? Try to accomplish the impossible with this little training seat which has probably been around for awhile, but we still found irresistible. My guess is that Fluffy won’t know that he’s supposed to drop a deuce through that little hole, and your feline toilet seat will sit alone and neglected without ever touching cat ass.

If you can’t accept the fact that your dog is “a dog”, and instead view him as a furry little person who eats his own puke and dumps on the floor, then you’ll need some special table accessories so your K9 companion can share the dinner table with you. How about a doggie dinner plate and wine glass designed with special features to allow easy tongue and snout access? While you’re at it, you can pick up the white collar dog bib they offer as well. Bon Appetit!

The product page says: “Pink is the color of fantasy. Our model, Chicken, looks like her mind is elsewhere when she wears this wig — somewhere in a land of cotton candy and pinwheels where the air smells like sugar kisses”. I’d say that looks more like a cat that’s about to rip your face off for putting a dumbass wig on her head and then taking pictures of it.

After a long day out eating brains and generally terrifying the still living, even a zombie is looking for a little unconditional love at home. Your average pet would most likely get eaten so an undead pet is the only answer. Having something to come home to may keep the zombies off the streets a little longer as well which can only be a good thing for you.

It would be tough to miss this Doogie (Doggie) doorstop when you walk into a room. With his head stuck under the door and his rear end raised high he will greet your guests with the courtesy they deserve. This dog has the stay command down pat but there are no other commands he’ll obey. At least he won’t be slobbering all over you. Available in white or black.
