For those who can afford to spend a little extra money just for lolz, the intertoobz offers many possibilities, among them the zany products on this site (click photos for the specifics):

Long-lasting Kitty IncrediBubbles for cats to chase

According to the site, these bubbles don’t immediately pop when they land on an object, thus giving your cat the opportunity to chase them around. Only problem is that the bubbles are peach-flavored, while most cats would probably prefer liver or fish. But then, their human caretakers might not be able to handle fish-scented bubble residue in their homes. Maybe catnip scent might be an idea for Version 2.0.

Plastic towel holder resembling a cat's posterior

Rather bizarre for a towel holder.

What’s with the emphasis on cat posteriors, anyway?

Pencil sharpener - insert pencil into rectum of plastic cat

Maybe humans have tail envy!

Kit Cat Clock

Dubai shopping spree stalls, retailers tighten belts

DUBAI, Nov 20 (Reuters) – Some big Dubai retailers, accustomed to giddy spending in the Gulf Arab tax-free haven, are grappling with a drop in sales as consumers worry about the impact of the global financial crisis on their wallets.

The Gulf has not been as heavily hit by the credit crisis as Europe and the United States, but the contagion has led to stock market routs, tight lending conditions and a range of government and central bank attempts to mitigate its impact.

In the United Arab Emirates, home to the glitzy financial hub of Dubai where shopping is virtually a national sport, a frisson of fear has seeped into consumers’ minds.

“Business is 20 percent down in the last week in retail,” Mohi-din Bin Hendi, president of Bin Hendi Enterprises, told Reuters.

This is great! Less money for the Jihad! They can always go back to selling Camels and Carpets, at least that’s harmless!
