Cats are awesome. They kill all the rodents in your backyard, don’t need to be walked and make for a catchy Internet meme. Unfortunately, your feline could make friends with some neighborhood alley cats and before you know it, your crib has become the hot spot to be. Keep unwanted animals out with this RFID-enabled pet flap known as Spimecat.

Spimecat was designed by a veterinarian with one idea in mind: keeping unwanted things out of your house. Your cat receives an RFID implant, eliminating the need for a color, and can then enter your house at will. Don’t want the puss out at night? It’s taken care of. Spimecat can detect light levels and can keep your cat in during the evening. I don’t believe it’s readily available to consumers as of yet, but keep your eyes peeled.

Obesity has become a epidemic in many of the world’s leading countries. That’s right, our dogs are huge! Our “time is money” culture gives us very little time to spend giving our pets the proper exercise they need. The Hyperdog Ball Launcher makes sure that your pets’ balls travel to a far distance (giggle). Providing your pet with a further distance to fetch.

The Ball Launcher can sling tennis balls up to 200 feet, about 2/3 the length of a football field. This will ensure your dog either loses weight, or collapses from exhaustion. The sling is made of high quality surgical tubing. Durable enough to last a lifetime (at least your dog’s lifetime). The Launcher comes with 2 tennis balls, just in case one is to roll into a sewer or if one just becomes too covered in slobber to use without vomiting. Available for $30. — Andrew Dobrow

You’ve been gone all day at work, your boss gave you a huge new project, and when you come home, all you see is your brand new couch torn to pieces with Spot sitting right next to it. This situation (at least the last part) would never have occurred if you had taken the time to invest in the Pro-Idee Sofa Guard. The Sofa Guard works by emitting a 105dB noise when anything activates its sensor (4′6″ x 11.5″ x 1.5″) which you place over whatever surface you don’t want your animal on. 105dB is loud enough to temporarily damage your ear if you are right next to it! Just hope that 1) you aren’t at home when your animal decides to lay on the furniture 2) your animal learns really fast so you don’t need the Sofa Guard anymore. The Sofa Guard features a nice roll up ability so you can place it in small places when you don’t need it. The Sofa Guard currently sells for $37. — Nik Gomez
