A real super bowl

Does Your Dog Get Lonely When You Are Away?

Feel a little guilty leaving Fluffy at home alone all day? Check out the Chatterbowl pet bowl — a Super Bowl if ever there was one!

The Chatterbowl records your purrsonal message and plays it anytime your pet nears the bowl. You can entice, cajole or threaten your cat to eat, or simply tell her that you love her and miss her. Optionally, you can buy a motion-activated TalkBox so that you can tell Fluffy to get off the counter, or just mess with her head.

But before you buy one, note that the Chatterbowl’s deep-dish bowl design is better suited to dogs than cats. Fluffy is likely to experience whisker stress when eating from the Chatterbowl, so it might be better to buy a feline-friendly bowl and position the Chatterbowl standalone TalkBox nearby.

Here’s a question for you: If you had a Chatterbowl, what message would you record for your cat?
