I hate people talking to me while I eat but I guess it’s different for animals.

The Chatter Bowl Talking Pet Feeder is designed for those of you who suffer massive guilt whenever you slope off for a dirty weekend by the sea, leaving your cat or dog all aloney woney at homey.

This way, you can record a 10 second message to your favourite furball, which will play whenever the sensor detects your pet is near:

“Hello Tigger Wigger. Mommy loves you so much, my liddle-widdle, cutesey-wutesy, snuggly-wuggly diddums.”

Yuck.

The makers say: “It was quite entertaining watching our cats interact with the Chatter Bowl. At first they looked around, trying to figure out where the voice came from, and later they got very comfortable with it and seemed to enjoy walking up to the bowl, hearing our familiar voice, calling them to "eat." We think this would make a great gift for any dog or cat lover, especially someone who is gone from home, when the comforting sound of their voice would be a welcomed sound for the pets who miss them.”

Great, a bowl that encourages pet obesity. Anyway, it will probably sell a million. It costs around £13 here.-Martin Lynch
