As I have said before, I love pet-friendly furniture. Incorporating pet lounging areas into human furniture pieces is a great idea, especially in small spaces, where there isn’t enough room to separate the two. The Dog House Sofa by Korean studio min n mun, is another interesting step in that direction. The piece includes a cushioned dog house on one side, providing resting areas for you and your dog(s). The couch is made of ash wood and pet-friendly fabrics. I love how current its design is. And, again, if your dog decides not to adopt the sofa (the phenomenon has yet to be precedented), you can use the pet house as storage.

Every well-loved cat deserves their own place to catch a nap.  Problem is, even the best-designed cat beds can still leave your living room looking cluttered and unsightly.   If you’ve been looking for a cat bed that’s more out of the way, you might want to try the Cat Crib, a mini-hammock that installs under a chair.

Designed for use on chairs with four legs and a generous helping of space under the seat, you just tie the hammock’s four straps around the legs, using them as posts.  The taller the legs, the better, of course — if that kitty in the picture had claustrophobia, for instance, he’d be freaking out like crazy before that product shot was ever snapped.  We’re guessing this could fit in smaller side tables, too, provided it has four legs that you can tie the straps onto.

The Milk Box by MOISSUE is a milk carton-shaped home for cats, but as we mention over on Dog Milk, we think it would be perfect for small dogs.

Did your cat chase a mouse or a sparrow, did the doggy pee on your car tire or was it the tabby that scratched your new linen sofa? To answer these and many more questions we have the Pet’s View concept. It’s not entirely a new idea for a pet’s perspective camera, however I like it for plug and play USB integration. It will be interesting to monitor and catalogue what your pet has been up to all day (or night) especially when its gone forever…. leaving behind just these truth-tapes.

Your dog has a habit of leaving the house and taking a dump in the vacant lot two blocks away after dinner every night.  And you’re cool with that — saves you from having to clean up.  Problem is, he doesn’t always go straight home right away and you’ve had to get out to look for him more than a couple of times.  Here’s a way to make finding your pooch just a tad less of a chore: the Glowdoggie.

A collar with built-in LEDs, it makes finding your dog during nighttime a lot easier.  Just find where the colorful light source is, follow the path and you’ll find the wayward mutt.  Unless a leprechaun stole the collar, of course.  At which point, horror commences.

The inspiration for pupRUNNERS.com is from the creator’s own “monster” miniature schnauzers, Pete and Sam.

This invention solves all the problems associated with running and walking your dog/dogs. It allows the user to take their dogs for exercise while riding the owners bike. Yet keeps them contained within the trailer, safe from other dogs, cars, and people. If the dogs get tired half way, they can ride on the fold away floor of the trailer all the way home.

Uber-Review: When it comes to pets, dogs are sooooo much better than cats in all ways but one: they don’t really care where they take a crap. You take them for a walk and they will go out of their way to drop a fresh, juicy turd at their earliest convenience. If you are civically minded, that means pulling out a plastic bag and trying to scoop up the poop without touching it (not as hard as it sounds, trust me) – or you could leave it there and risk fines and scorn… or you could spend $100 and carry around a ridiculous looking dog dung vacuum from Hammacher Schlemmer.

The Dog Dung vacuum features a battery-powered 30,000-RPM motor that can get 50 suctions out of a single 12-hour charge.

CNNMoney: In its first-ever toy created for the canine community, Mattel is introducing a product called “Puppy Tweets” that meshes the hugely popular Twitter with consumers’ love of pets.

Puppy Tweets is a plastic tag with a sound and motion sensor that you attach to your pet’s dog collar and connect its USB receiver to your computer. Then you create a Twitter account for your dog and enjoy updates all day from Sparky or whatever its name is on your computer or smartphone.

The tag is set with several pre-recorded tweets that are triggered by the dog’s activities. So if he’s running around, you might get a tweet that says “I finally caught that tail I’ve been chasing and…OOUUUCHH!”
