  • Animal communication device
    Patent number: 6722318
    Abstract: An animal communication device is provided which is designed to solicit animal responses based on at least two of the five major senses. The device includes a module having associated therewith a plurality of physically perceivable attributes related to the senses. The animal activates the device by depressing a housing cover which activates a switch. Alternatively, a motion detector is used to detect the presence of the animal. In both instances, a record/playback device is activated so that a pre-recorded message which corresponds to the physically perceivable attributes of the module is then played back.
