Should I start a business called mittens for kittens so cats paws won't get cold?

Answer 1

Sure though i dont think your going to get a ton of buisness. Maybe suppliment your store with
Doggie Diapers for the Incontinent Dachshund
also add the department
Bird Brain Begginers Banquets for Bird Bezerk Buddies
on the side you should have available
How to Hotten up your Hamsters Habitat for Hamsters with Hurried Hairloss.

It sounds very off the wall. Cats paws do not get cold even if they feel cold, they aren't. In actual fact cats love the snow, my two in there youth loved chasing snowballs rolled along the ground and sometimes for rest would hollow out in a pile of snow somewhere to curl up, coming in back indoors soaking wet from the melting snow. Towel dry and your cats fur has just had a polish. Cats can tolerate both extremes of temperature the frost and cold or the extreme heat of a foundery.

A cat that is ill or elderly - however, may need a helping hand to stay warm and secure.

For a cat that is ill or elderly, an easily accessible cardboard box ( one with one side cut out ) lined with its favourite blanket or cushion and placed out of any drafts maybe under a table or near the fire but not to close - 'remember the box is cardboard'.

Also kittens that have been abandoned or ignored by there mother could do with a hand. 2 hourly feeds of cat milk formula and a secure warm place to sleep and huddle up together. A medium sized card board box lined with two hot water bottles kept filled every 4 hours and topped with a thick blanket to stop little claws from bursting bottles. I would not recommend the use of a heat pad just in case a kitten were to have an accident and electrocute the entire litter.

Mittens for kittens sounds a bit of a no no, but if you think it is a viable idea give it go, but beware don't make a vast investment in it as you could lose it.

A better idea may be developing a surgical medicinal material a cat would not be tempted to bite or chew off an injured paw after being treated at the vets.

The idea that large predator cats would find mittens or similar products useful is laughable. Animal rights activists might say you have catered for a breed of ill or kinky people. How are these beautiful creatures to survive if you deny them the use of there claws? Should these beautiful creatures be kept as pets for the wealthy is another area of debate. So if I were you I'd also stay clear of controversy.

BTW according to the 1911 UK animal rights act a CAT domestic or otherwise is still regarded as Ferrel and is protected as such. Free to roam and survive in its natural environment, is it possible that by denying a cat this ability you have breached its rights of protection under the aforesaid act.

OHMIGOD! This is the greatest idea ever. It's really kinda freaky becasue just the other day I asked my husband if i could start a business called Mitten for Kittens. He looked at my as if I was crazy and asked what I meant and I told him so their paws wouldnt get cold. You should go for it!

Answer 5

NO ! Unless of course, you plan on opening a pet shoppe and including mittens, although I don't think 1 cats wil like them 2 there would not be a real market for them.

Answer 6

If you find a way for cats to wear mittens so that their paws don;t get cold... wow... I will certainly buy a pair... er... a quad of mittens? That is SOOOOOOOO cool. Can you add muffles, scarves, berets and really awsome sweaters? I had to cut holes in one of my brand new beany hat to transform it into a kitty sweater for my short hair cat who loves to go walkies (on halter and leash) out with me in the cold. brrrrr... A quad of mittens will com ein handy. Go for it.

Answer 7

I don't think so. I was given a pink puffy coat for my Sadie so that she wouldn't get cold in the winter... she went mental when I put it on her. Cats aren't like Dippy Dogs - they are far too clever to want to wear clothing. They're sensible enough to come in from outside if it gets too cold.

Good idea though! Think perhaps we've got the next Richard Branson on our hands...?!

Answer 8

Yeah it is. I will think of Romney's shark faced mug and all of the hopeless clueless conservatives I talk to on YA every time I think of that name in conjunction with a cute little kitty

Answer 9

I recently tried a business called gloves for doves, but the poor things couldnt grip branches very well, and kept falling out of the trees.

Answer 10

Keep your pets INDOORS..it is shameful to even think of owning a pet and then making them stay outside....their little paws won't get cold staying inside where it's warm and cozy....
