Wired Selfie Stick I gotted another selfie stick to try out. This time Im reviewing da Wired Selfie Stick.

Here is Human2’s review:

This is a great solution for someone like me that isn’t going to be using a selfie stick very often. No battery to worry about charging. I know it would be dead every time I went to use it otherwise.

Nice sturdy clamp holds your phone (even in the case). The telescoping handle lets you adjust for the best possible photo. However, this is one of the weak points for me as it shifted from side to side a little and I fear with age this loose feeling is only going to get worse (maybe I will exchange it). Other than the swivel that I don’t think should be there, it is a great selfie stick.

Easy to use right out of the box (remember no battery). Plug it in and turn on the camera app and you’re good to go! I had my phone on when I plugged it in so the camera shutter did not release with the push of the button right away, but turning the phone off and back on did the trick! (Not a hard reboot just off and back on then bring up the camera and I could snap photos as much as I wanted).

Being wired also means no blue-tooth connection to be lost or setup before use. So that’s another check in the plus column.

Seems like everybody wants the top of the line tech with all the bells and whistles but this low end tech gadget gets the job done without the hassles associated with similar items. This works with iPhones or Androids. We tested it on iPhone.

IR Thermometer Ok so wot iz a kitty doing with an IR thermometer u might be asking? Well ghost hunting for one! MOL

I kid u, but really it iz an essential part of any would be ghost hunters tool kit, but it haz loads of other uses around da house too. You can measure the surface temp of ur stove top or even a layer of cooking oil to make sure da pan iz hot enough for da noms. It even haz some pet related uses too.

We used it to measure the temperature of the sidewalk in shade and bright sun on a hot day. Outside temperature was 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The sidewalk in the shade was 90 degrees and in the direct sun it was 111! No wonder dogs don’t wanna walk in da sun hot surfaces will burn da paws. (We will be reviewing a nice paw cream shortly).

IR Thermometer  IR Thermometer

We also measured da inside of Human2’s car. It 138 degrees in the car (now mind you this is the surface temperature of the car seat and as the photo shows herz wuz pointin at a shaded area…we would need a regular thermometer to measure the air temp inside the car, but we are sure it was even hotter). The outside of the car was 100 (I thought a black car in the sun would have been hotter). But now you know why it is so hard to touch your dash or steering wheel on a hot summer day.

IR Thermometer  IR Thermometer

Weather Kitty App

Weather kitty app told us the outside temp was 85 degrees.

Overall we liked how easy this was to use right out of the package. Just pop in the included battery and point the laser. O yes, did I forget to tell u it wuz laser guided?! Well u know wot dat means right? RED DOT!

IR Thermometer

While the red dot iz fun it iz helpful too. It tells u where u r pointing the thermometer (az u can see here r floor iz a comfy 76 degrees). When the Winter rolls around H2 iz going to use dis fing to point out all da cold comin in thru windows and round doors.

Snug Pet Feeding MatDis is very nice food dish (or place) mat for pets. Made from a nice thick silicone with raise bumps to help grip the food dishes and keep them from sliding around. There is a good sized rim around the mat that will help keep in food and/or liquid that gets spilled during feedings.

Im a bit of a sloppy eater so dis is nice for my humanz! And I hear telltale of utter kittehs dat dip der paws in da water bowls and splash it around (old sisfur Abby used to tip da bowls — MOL).

You just don’t realize how much human effort goes into cleaning up after a pet at mealtime until you have something like this that makes it easier and it looks good too. Dishwasher safe too so keeping it clean and sanitary is a snap.

No strong rubber smell from this mat which is good for me and Human2. I hads no problem eating my dinner from this mat. Nom nom nom.

A little large for cat feeding but the perfect size for almost any dog (mayhaps not really large dogs…they may need one for each bowl).

Pawty hats! Why not? Every cat needs party hats. These hats are for humanz not kittehs dats why Im so excited about them MOL.

Top HatHuman2 has been to a couple of parties that had photo booths set up with fun hats, glasses and other things for the guests to wear for their photos. It is a big business and honestly  do you want to put on hats worn by strangers. She thought get a bunch yourself and only friends will be wearing them. (She’s no pretty face after all, MOL.)

So herz gots dis fine Black Derby and Black Top Hat for to review and and now herz wants more fings!

Each hat is made of felt and is formed well enough (but they are inexpensive party hats after all so we will keep them in boxes to keep them safe). They actually look better in person than the Amazon.com product photos (the derby looked blue). They fit herz fat head so will fit most adult heads too. The ribbon is just a plastic one but that could be swapped out for the real deal to make it nicer looking. But honestly the plastic isn’t too bad. There is no hat band inside so smaller heads will find this hat slipping.

Top Hat HAT DERBY 01

Now to hab a party where furrends can use these. Or H2 haz to start goin to some Steampunk events. MOL.

TRAVEL BOWLHuman2 gotted this pawsum foldy-uppy travel bowl fur to review and I said yeah extra noms!

The Etherno Travel Bowl is made from a durable food grade silicone and folds up nice and flat. Making it purrfect for walkies, drives or even going to the dread V-E-T *shudders*.

It holds about a cup or two (maybe a bit more of food or water — sorry we did not actually measure it).

Travel BowlThis is made from a harder feeling silicone than some other brands. Makes for a sturdier bowl when standing.

TRAVEL BOWL However, I also see this as a minor flaw in the bowl as well. As the thinned material in the creases of the bowl may more easily break/tear than the softer bowls. But only time and repeated uses will tell.

Since we were using it for cats we didn’t open the bowl completely, leaving the bottom section collapsed makes more sense for kitties. We prefer a more shallow bowl and keeping r whiskers away from the sides as well.

TRAVEL BOWL TRAVEL BOWL

Best suited for small to medium sized dogs (and cats). der is a lil doggy on the bottom but since kitties can use this too der should just be a pawpaw der. Just meowin’.

Two Meows Litter MatEver since I got sick and had my surgery I have a litter box upstairs instead of in the basement. Needless to say my humanz are more than a little upset with all the litter all over the place. So when we were given the opportunity to review this cat litter mat we jumped at it. Litter-ally. MOL

At first we thought the Two Meow litter mat was going to be huge, thanks to the ginormous box that Amazon.com sent it to us in. Silly people. Once we got it out of the box we thought maybe it is too small, but it isn’t.

Two Meows Litter Mat

See if fits right in front of the box (yes that is a bog storage box because we need the height to help control the spray of litter when somebuddy digs in da box). We got the gray one cause it matches all our stuff but it is available in other colors too.

Two Meows Litter Box

So I inspected the mat and I think it will be just fine. It did not feel weird on my paws and there was no weird rubbery smell coming off of it. So it is a-okay by this kitteh.

Two Meows Litter Box

But the important thing to test is the getting back out of the box. It caught the litter wot wuz stuck to my paw and Human2 could easily dump it back into the box. (sumbuddy iz still a little crazy with the flinging of the litter but it’s not me.)

Selfie SticksWe gots a cool selfie stick to review. This is the 2Charge Bluetooth Selfie Stick and it is pretty nifty. We never tried a selfie stick before so dis wuz a whole new experience for us.

There were no instructions in the box, just the selfie stick, a wrist strap and USB cable. We plugged the USB cable into the stick handle and into a charger and a light came on. When it was done charging the light went off. The stick itself was pretty easy to figure out as far as putting the phone into the monopod and setting up the Bluetooth to activate the shutter. But we think a small instruction sheet would have been handy.

Self StickThe Bluetooth seemed to drop connection with my iPhone a couple of times so I had to go back into the settings and reconnect. This could be a bit of a pain if I was trying to get a group shot and they all had to keep waiting for me to get ready, but for now it is just me and Human2 so no biggy.

Being Bluetooth it needs to be kept charged and there is no way of knowing when the device has a low charge or no charge except when it will no longer connect to your phone.

It is telescoping so you can make it the purrfect length to get the purrfect shot. There adapter that holds the camera has a “locking” angle feature so that you can angle the phone just so (helps you be able to keep the stick itself out of the photo). However, this plastic screw does not really get tight and since you can move the position of the camera without loosening the wingnut I feel this will be the weakest link on the device.

Selfie SticksMy humanz hab never been one for selfies but we knows plenty of folks like to be in front of da camera and dis will help dem take better photos of dem selfs and der friends without having to asking strangers walking by to take a photo and possibly run off wif der expensive cameras.

More info about dis 2Charge Bluetooth Selfie Stick can be found over at Amazon.com.

Just a little warning: before heading out to your vacation spot make sure you will be able to use a selfie stick at your location and ALWAYS be safe when using it. Places like Disney parks have banned the use of selfie sticks because they can be dangerous to u and others.

Disclaimer: I gots dis item free or at a deep discount to do an honest review of the product and dats wot u hab here. Paw to heart I hab not been told wot to meow about here.

Boris Kitty affer chest tap

You can see da red spot in my chest where da big needle went in me.

Hallooo all!

As many of you knows I hab been (and still is) a beary sicky boy. Last year when I went to hab my megacoloon surgery dey found dat I had Chylothorax (lymph fluid in my chest). The prognosis for Chylothorax isn’t good, but my humanz had faith in and wif a special diet and meds (Rutin) da fluids stayed away and I wuz able to hab da surgery I needed to be able to poop and hab a chance at a better life.

Off and on in da past year I had bouts of colitis and utter poopy problems. The doctor putted me on steroids for dat and my gut pains seemed to stop. Den last month da fluid reappeared in my chest and I had to go have an ultrasound and have it drained. Then about 10 days later I had to have it drained again and den 2 weeks later drained again.

H2 finks being on steroids probably brought da fluids back (the vet won’t agree, but really dey don’t knows nuffin much about dis disease). I’m off dem steroids and hab been takin lasix since da first vet visit dis time round wif all dis chest draining.

Boris playin

Who sez Im too sicky to play?!

Da vet did give Human2 da quality of life speech after da second time and both my humanz knows dat if Im suffering or in pain dey need to let me go. But fur now Im hangin on and fightin dis fing. Im eatin and playin and lubbin on my humanz every day. I fink I hab a good quality of life and hope to stick around a bit longer. I dunt wanna jinx dis but we hopin dat da lasix iz werkin (which we had da doctor double on da third chest drainin cause I get my meds in my ear and da steriods needed to be increased cause I wuz no absorbin enuff). My breathin is a little fast but not above the danger line.

I fanks u all fur da pawcircle it seems to be werkin. After da 2nd vet visit H2 wuz beary sad but did not feel it was time for me to leave yet so when da third time came around dey opted to hab da procedure done again. Keep up da good werk and I will try to keep hangin in der for a bit longer.

I made it to my 10th birthday and my 10th gotcha day is comin up on da 23rd. Human2 n I r takin life day by day and lubbin on each utter as much as we can. Herz cherishes every minute wif me.

My Tenth Birfaday

Sorry we hab not been keepin u all up to da minute on all dat iz goin on. It iz hard fur us to talk about all dis stuff. H2 iz a big mess most of da time so we hab only been able to tweet out about big important fings and just keep hangin in der (kinda like a kitteh poster). But we so beary much appreciate all ur lub n support.

H2 wasn’t even sure we were gonna need to buy me more foods/meds but I provin everybuddy wrong and we ordered up food and my meds dis week. *rolls eyes* Chewy.com did mess wif my noms but der on da way now.
