Cool Gadgets That Could Save Your Home...

Let's face it, raccoons can reek haveck on your home. They will dig into your drywall, tear at carpet, sneak into cabinets and clear them of their contents, they will chew wires and they will climb everything in site. So here are some things that could save your home and sanity.

Child and Pet Proof...

1. Safety 1st Tot Lok Starter Set - Safety 1st - Babies "R" Us
     These can be used for all sorts of coon proofing.

2. Babies R Us Slide Locks - 2-Pack - Babies R Us - Babies "R" Us
     These work great for cabinets with knobs. I don't recommend the little hook ones, because the raccoon      can still get it's paws in the little crack.

3. Kidco Auto Toilet Lock - Kidco - Babies "R" Us
     It's better to try to keep them out of the toilet from the get-go. Trust me, they will fill your toilet up!

4. Sofa Scram
     This little beauty can be used not only of couches, but place it in front of areas of the home that you don't want your coon in. It's great for hallways, and in front of doors that are off limits.

5. Contech Scat Mat Automatic Indoor Cat Training Mat
     This is the same concept as the Sofa Scram, it just is smaller. Works well for counters, table tops, or even on top of high book shelves that your little guy may have been eyeballing.

6. Ssscat Automated Cat Deterrent
     These little wonders could save your television and computer wires. Position them at hotspots where your coon is particularly drawn to mischief.

7. PetSafe Cat Flap
     This may seem strange on this list, but if you're someone who keeps door shut in your house, even though it's a room where your coon is welcome, then installing these in your doors could save them from scratches and carpet damage at the base.

8. Petsafe Drinkwell Hy-drate Pet H20 Filtration System For Cats
     This may help save you a huge water bill, and stop your coon from teaching his/herself to use the sink.

9. Cat Furniture Protector
     If your coon likes to run up the side of your couch, and your afraid of it getting ratty, then try one of these beauties!


Distractions, Distractions, Distractions...

1. The Refined Feline Cat Clouds Cat Shelf
     Your climber will love being able to scale the walls without being yelled at. Comes in a variety of colors so it wont clash with your home decor.

2. Molly and Friends Five Tiered Cat Tree
     Any type of cat tree will do, big to small, your coon will love these!

3. Premier Busy Buddy Treat Holding Buscuit Bouncer
     This will keep them distracted for a little. (Key here is, a "little" while.)

These were just a few neat things that I came across and I thought they were great. There are plenty of enriching ways to keep your little buddy busy, but let's face it, you can get pretty pooped out. So maybe these will help you catch a breath!
