This last weekend I went shopping for curtains for the new house I just moved into, and I came across what I think is a brilliant idea...one I wished I had around when I was growing up. Maybe just maybe many lives could have been saved and many tears saved.
Its a Bow Miaow flouorescent pet vest! Thats right... a pet vest like what I as a biker wear so motorist can see me in the early hours of the morning.
I had to buy one, for my sister, especially as she had to put her beloved cat down last week because someone didnt see him. Whether he was in the road, under their car or behind it, either way he wasnt seen and the person broke his paws and fractured his hips. The operation would have cost R15 000. When weighing up his age, quality of life after the operation, it was decided to put him to sleep. Would Tigger Thomas James Taylor be alive today if he was wearing this reflective jacket, most probably... so I purchased this vest for my sisters other cat Stark who is a black and white Tuxedo cat.
Today we put this very clever jacket on Stark and he darted around the room and collapsing on his side as cats do when something is around them. It was very entertaining to watch, but slowly they get used to it.
Mr Price Home, they are R49.99 which is nothing to help make our furry friends and family members more visible to everyone at night.
