Abstract: The modular ball track cat toy (10) includes a ball (15) disposed in a track that is expandable, i.e., modular. The modular track includes sections of track that may have different sizes and shapes. The track sections (20, 25) may be coupled by a universal connector (17). The various track sizes and shapes allow a user to set up the track in various configurations for continuously new cat play activities. Each track section (20, 25) is a tube having a top opening dimensioned so that the ball (15) can freely roll inside the tube but cannot escape the tube through the top opening. The universal connector (17) and tube sections (20, 25) have interlocking members (19, 52, 18, 50) that constrain rotational and axial movement of the tube sections (20, 25), thereby preventing the pet from dismantling or twisting the toy (10) during play.

Abstract: An adjustable safety pet harness for dogs and cats while traveling in a vehicle and strapped to a vehicle's seat belt. The harness comprises six flexible straps, wherein three straps are affixed to a synthetic lambskin chest pad. Two of the three straps are crossed chest straps and the third strap becomes a lower body strap removably attachable to an upper body strap. The chest straps have buckles for adjustment in length to fit the pet. The chest straps are attached on top to the upper body strap and held parallel by a cross-strap. A median portion of the cross-strap supports a connector strap which has a metal D-ring on an end on the cross-strap and its opposite end fastened to the upper body strap to secure a flexible nylon webbing with a snap hook at its distal end for connection with the D-ring. The connector strap is looped around a safety belt for protection of the pet during a sudden stop or collision.
