The Pooch Power Shovel (the quicker, shittier picker-upper ) may look like a leaf blower, but it’s not. It’s also not anything I’d recommend you trying to attach to your genitals, but you know what? Go for it. I’m tired of mothering you. And, honestly, I’m looking forward to the 911 call being leaked. The cordless Pooch Power Shovel sucks the waste directly into specially designed plastic bags making them easy to dispose of (up to 150 on a single charge) and at first glance you might think the clear plastic tube provides an unpleasant view of the business being dealt with, but when used properly the waste apparently never touches the machine or your hands. At $99.50 from Frontgate it’s easily the most expensive pet poo solution I’ve seen, short of hiring someone else to do it, and the refill bags will set you back an additional $19.50 for 50 or $35.50 for 100. It doesn’t seem like that big a piece of crap(!) if you’re only gonna use it in your backyard (I’d still just set the mower as low as it’ll go and shoot shit everywhere), but I’d never carry this thing on a walk. Of course, I said the same thing when they came out with 500lb dumbbells…. Pooch Power Shovel Vacuums Up Poo, Not Small Yap Dogs [ohgizmo]

The Cat Hammock Coffee Table was created by Case-Real and is a glass -topped magazine receptacle with a wicker-ish hammock for your feline companions beneath. It’s cool, but your cat would be just as happy sleeping under any coffee table. Or in an empty soda box. Hit the jump for one more shot of the hammock in use.

The Litter Robot is a $330 mechanical litterbox that your cat will ignore and begin shitting behind the couch instead. I just ordered two (one for me, one for the dog). Basically the whole damn thing rotates and sifts the litter, depositing waste in a pan below the unit. It’s simple, it’s easy, it’s robotic! I hate it. A testimonial: I was so tickled by how fast she adjusted Thursday, 21 January, 2010 | Category: Testimonials I literally had to hold her back while I added litter to the unit. She immediately walked into the Litter Robot and proceeded to pee and poop…I even used a different litter and filled it all the way. Still she jumped right in and did not mind me watching . LOLWUT?! That’s one special litterbox! (I just ordered another for my female roommate) Product Site Thanks to Pat, Greg and the people who sent me this a long time ago whose emails I couldn’t find, this scoops for you. Oh, got a turd!

For all you OLD lovers out there, I’ve got the feeling this photo is at LEAST 15 years late, but — Jesus, has it already been 15 years? Feels like it was just yesterday. Hit the jump for another shot of Kurt and another, little-er kitty.

Rear Gear Butt Covers ( “No more Mr. Brown Eye” — not even kidding) are little $5 cardboard cutouts that hang from your pet’s tail and cover its butthole. Jesus Christ. Is your pet feeling left in the dirt because of his/her unsightly rear? I’ve got them covered… Rear Gear is handmade in Portland, OR and offers a cheerful solution to be-rid your favorite pet’s un-manicured back side. Rear Gear comes in many designs including a disco ball, air freshener, heart, flower, biohazard, smiley face, number one ribbon, cupcake, sheriff’s badge, dice, and you can even make yours custom, so there’s a Rear Gear for everyone. Admittedly, I hate an animal’s bare b-hole touching my arm as much as the next guy, but I’m not definitely not hanging a trunk ornament on it. My pet deserves her dignity, damnit. Aaaaand now she’s licking it. NO I DON’T WANT A KISSIE! Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the Etsy sale page.

I’ve been looping this video for the past 20 minutes and I can’t stop smiling my big toothless GW grin . Granted, it’s already been on Youtube for over a month and has like 30 trillion views , so why I haven’t seen it is beyond me. But somehow, it’s all your fault. I swear, you are such a jerk I could spit nails. OMG, grab some wood — TREE FORT!! Hit the jump for another worthwhile kitty video of the return of ninja/stalking cat . Youtube Thanks to sham, who finally broke the silence and showed me the light. Visual AND aural references — L337!

You know the new Tony Hawk: Ride game that comes with a skateboard peripheral? This is a dog playing it — and he’s pretty good (except the 360 was obviously FAAAAKE). Which brings up an interesting question — what is it with bulldogs and skateboarding? They love that shit for some reason. If I was a bulldog I would just lay in the sun and lick myself.

The Humunga Stache is a $12 piece of molded rubber . One side’s a ball , and the other is giant freaking mustache . So when your dog bites the ball, guess what happens! (Hint: you take pictures and post them Facebook with clever captions). Add some low-cost laughs to your frequent frolics with Fido! This shiny black toy is a ball on one end, and a giant cartoon mustache on the other. Dogs naturally pick up the ball…which leaves the outrageously funny mustache sticking out! Dogs also love to hold the ball in their mouth, and shake the mustache back and forth! Not a bad idea. Of course, my dog would just chew up the whole damn thing. You see, she’s a bitch. And, based on those tits in the pic, so is Fido. Animal cruelty! Product Site via Humunga Stache [likecool] Thanks to Niki, whose bitch has a real mustache and moonlights as a carny.

Yay, two laser posts in a row! The $17 FroliCat BOLT is an award winning laser lightshow for cats with owners who are too lazy to wave a laser pointer around or have lost the use of their limbs. Simply turn it on and projects a red dot and moves it in random patterns for 15 minutes, or until your cat (or dog, or baby) realizes what’s going on and attacks the gadget itself. You know why cats love lasers so much? Because they’re from the future. Plus it has something to do with their nightvision. No, really, I’m not just making this up. I took a correspondence college course in beertasting science. I wore a lab coat and everything. Video of the POS in action after the jump.

I’m not going to lie to you (although I usually do), I had no idea what a moon dog was when Geekologie Reader em_kay11 sent me this picture (high-res version HERE ) of one he took early Wednesday morning. Per Wikipedia : A moon dog or moondog (scientific name paraselene, plural paraselenae, i.e. “beside the moon”) is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight by hexagonal-plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Moondogs appear to the left and right of the moon 22° or more distant. They are exactly analogous to sun dogs, but are rarer because to be produced the moon must be bright and therefore full or nearly full. Moondogs show little color to the unaided eye because their light is not bright enough to activate the color photoreceptors in humans. Cool, a moondog! Can we keep it, daddy? Can we pleaaaase? I’ll feed it and walk it every day. And if it ever moon-cheeses on the carpet I promise I’ll clean it up and spray the area real good with pet odor-neutralizer and everything. No? Well how about a reptile? I like turtles. Thanks em_kay11, now how about a mooncat?
