This wins the prize for best possible gift for any moderncat owner — the Control A Cat remote. With push button commands for “show affection,” “retract claws,” and “remain aloof,” plus purr volume and eject fur ball keys, this is pure genius. I especially love the instructions for use:
- Point remote at subject.
- Push any button on remote.
- Hope for the best.
And the best part, “No batteries required: powered by positive thinking.” Exactly.
I had to post this for a Friday funny. I originally heard about it from The Cat’s Meow, New York Magazine, and Katrika.

This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Who said cat owners don’t have a sense of humor?

Oh, if only that worked! I need a human toddler/preschooler version, too…

Very funny concept indeed. But what a waste of plastic.

This is too funny! Great gag gift for any cat owner!

HA, I love this!!! I wish there was a button that said do the laundry and stop hacking hairballs on my rug.

Actually, they’re doin’ it wrong. They should make remotes for CATS to control HUMANS. Now there’s a genius item!
