Abstract: A collapsible pet travel crate for use with at least one car seat includes an internal frame and a housing. The internal frame has two side members and four foldable members extending between the side members. Each side member has an upright rear portion. Each foldable members a first piece and a second piece coupled to the first piece through a lockable hinge. Each first piece is coupled to one side member through a first pivot hinge. Each second piece is coupled to the other side member through a second pivot hinge. The housing includes two oppositely disposed side panels and a central panel. Each side panel also has an upper mounting slot and a lower mounting slot. The housing includes a front mounting strap. The car seat belt extends through the first and second slots and across the front surface of the rear portions of the two side members.

Abstract: An adjustable stair ramp includes a pair of risers, a series of treads, and an adjustable support leg. Cross members extend between the two risers. Each cross member has a pivotal brace with a top edge. The adjustable support leg has a main leg portion pivotally coupled to the risers. The main leg portion has an upper portion and a lower portion pivotally coupled to the upper portion. Each tread has bottom surface with a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove configured to receive the top edge of the respective brace. Each tread is pivotally coupled to the risers for pivotal movement between a high step position, a low step position, and a ramp position. The stair ramp is reconfigurable for use as a high stair, a low stair, a high ramp, and a low ramp through the positioning of the support leg and the treads.

Abstract: An interactive cat toy having a passageway holding an object of prey movable in response to a motor between a recessed position within the housing and an extended position outwardly of the housing; and a switch for selectively directing an electric current to flow to the motor, the movement of the object of prey, attracting the attention of a cat, provides physical and mental exercise and activity for the cat. A method is disclosed for moving the object of prey within the passage between the recessed position in the housing and the extended position outwardly of the housing for entertaining and exercise of the cat.

Abstract: A sound generating pet toy is provided which includes two similarly configured pet toy components. Each pet toy component has an exterior housing and an electronics module. The electronics module includes and electronics circuit having d.c. batteries, a microprocessor which includes a wireless transceiver component, a timer, a speaker, a push button on/off switch, and a high sensitivity vibration switch sensor. The microprocessor is electrically coupled to and powered by the batteries. The microprocessors are programmed to emit a sound upon activation from a first pet toy components, and thereafter to switch the generation of the sound to the second pet toy component upon sensing movement of the first pet toy component, this switching occurring back and forth between the two pet toy components as long as movement is sensed.

Abstract: A toy a pet laser toy 100 includes a housing 101 having a front end 104 and a rear end 105 relative to the forward direction of travel. The toy has a right wheel 107 coupled to a right motor 110 and a left wheel 108 coupled to a left motor 111. The motors are independently controlled through a microprocessor 118. The toy 100 also includes a light source 126 mounted to the housing 101 at a downward angle with respect to the horizontal plane underlying the toy. With the angular mounting of the light source 126, the light produced by the light source 126 is projected upon the underlying support surface a short distance behind the rear end 105 of the toy 100.
