Some off the top of my head suggestions...

A vacum? Not just an ordinary vacum...but one that can pick up ALL cat hair from any surface! It needs a clothing vacum attachment too lol.

A squishy hairball detector? I want a device that I wear on my wrist that tells me where all the hairballs are at before I step on them, wouldn't that be great?

Catnip...maybe just a catnip growing setup would be nice...it would keep kitties from chewing on the rest of the plant life.



:D If you produce this kit Richard, I want to be the first to order one!

Mini-mice. Gobs and gobs of mini-mice. That way when the mysterioius mini-mouse fairy comes to steal them away, there will still be some around. :D

It is funny how you buy a cat 20 or so of those dern mini-mice and they ALL vanish....

Where do cats keep those things?!

OK I may be analyzing this too much but a cat owner is a hooman so a cat owner's kit would have things in it for hoomans?:confused: which of course would contain bandaids....

How's about patience?

Or webbed feet? to keep the hairballs from gushing between your toes?

An automatic nail trimmer???

Now that my cats KNOW I can look under there I've caught them red-pawed pushing the mice under there and then meowing and waiting expectantly for me to go retrieve them! We know who's training who at my house! :rolleyes:

Any cat kit MUST contain one of each: paper and plastic bags.

Perhaps a few flies and moths for future entertainment.

This is too true. I can't even say how many packages of those balls that have bells inside of them, have just vanished. They have ALL just disappeared!

As far as a kitty kit:

*love
*patience
*long flexible stick with feathers on the end (my kitties' fave)
*a maid to clean up after 3 kitties ( i feel bad for everyone that has many!! lol)
*window sill (very much agree with that) - indoor kitties need to be able to see the outside world, even if it is through a screen
*good eatin'
*pounce (shake it up, they come a running, lol)
*a couch leg to claw - forget the big kitty trees I spent many dollars on! (what would be a home without clawed up couch sides!)
*a bullet-proof vest (to ease the pain of those random times cat jumps up on your back or arm in a complete vertical manner)
*white badding - so they won't lay on it, instead claw it up and eat it! lol
and how could I forget.................
*a 20lb bag of cat litter left out in the open (so you can come home to a cat sand box on your living room floor!)

Ear plugs for those early weekend mornings when kitty thinks breakfast should be served at 'during the week' time. :rolleyes:

Dust pan and brush kept handy for sweeping up the chards of glass and fine bone china that kitty has seen fit to bat to the floor. :p

Bottle of booze to calm your pounding heart should the above occur at 3:00 a.m. :p

OMG, what a funny thread!

Grover wakes me up of a morning licking my nose. Then when I am drinking coffee, she suddenly decides to give me head bumpies, and the coffee goes right up my nose. So yes, lots of paper towls for us too!

Bandaids is a great idea! And that hairball detector is a fantastic idea!

I asked my four ex-pur-ts and here are their suggestions:
Leonardo: CATNIP and a good brush
Luke: CATNIP and TUNA
Chester: CATNIP and lots of the balls with the bells in them
Grandma: CATNIP and Pounce tuna treats

All of them agree on: lots of time for cuddles, snuggles and scratching itchy ears and chins!!!

I suggest a cat meow dictionary, lots of love, and TONS of patience!
:D
