Abstract: A complete cat feeding system includes a plurality of feeding devices, each of the feeding devices having a container for containing and dispensing a portion of cat's daily food ration. Each container has a convexly curved external surface, a first port and a second port arranged along a top portion of the container providing access to an interior space of the container, and a bridging wall separating the first port and the second port, the bridging wall extending above the first port and the second port. Each feeding device may further include a simulation covering constructed from a flexible material, the simulation covering having a pocket for receiving a portion of the container therein without covering the first port and the second port. The cat feeding system may include a training device providing a second container having more than two ports for containing and dispensing a portion of cat food.

Abstract: A medical attachment for use on the free end of a suction catheter extending into the middle ear of a patient is disclosed. The attachment can be part of a kit of plural attachments, each attachment being configured for accomplishing a different task. Each attachment includes a proximal base portion and an angularly extending distal portion terminating in a working tip. The working tip can be a foam member, a spade shaped member, or a pointed member. The base portion serves to releasably mount the attachment on the free end of the suction catheter. Also disclosed is a specially constructed suction catheter including a tip in the form of a foam member, a spade shaped member, or a pointed tip member.

Abstract: An abrasive filament, a cloth or non-woven made of the filament and an abrasive device, e.g., sanding disk, incorporating the fabric, cloth or non-woven and methods of producing the same are disclosed. The filament has an outer surface to which plural small size particles of an abrasive material are secured. The filament is formed from a mass of a molten polymer material, e.g., nylon, that has been extruded through a small diameter opening to form a hot elongated filamentary body. The abrasive particles, e.g., grit, are applied as a cloud or spray to the outer surface of the hot elongated filamentary body, whereupon they adhere to that surface and remain permanently secured thereto.
