Description
Nido to koukai shinai neko no kaikata (Japanese Edition)
後悔しないネコの飼い方とは、何でしょう?どこかから、子ネコをもらってきて、キャットフードと水をあたえ、トイレを用意してやれば、最低限そのネコの生存は維持されます。
ときどき、気晴らしに遊んでやれば、それで、普通にネコを飼っていると言えるでしょう。ネコが元気なときは、それでも十分かもしれません。
ネコの飼い主としての役割をキチンと果たしたかどうか、自分自身が試されるのは、病気や怪我をしたり、最悪、死んでしまった時ではないでしょうか?
私の場合、最初のネコが元気なときは、水もろくに替えてやらないため、容器の内側がヌルヌルになっていたり、トイレもすぐに掃除してやらなかったり、食器もめったに洗わないなど、本当にいい加減でした。
言うことを聞かない時は、たたいたり、大きな声で叱ったりしました。それでも、そのネコは私に一番なつき、気がついた時には、私や妻にとって、かけがえのない家族になっていました。
その、ネコが死んでしまった時、私は、なぜ、もっと、ちゃんと、面倒を見てやらなかったのか、遊んでやらなかったのか、ネコの性質や本能をキチンと理解したうえでかわいがってやらななかったのか、からだの具合が悪くてもじっと耐えていることに気がついて、早く動物病院に連れて行ってやらなかったのかなど、猛烈に後悔しました。
その後しばらくは、親を失った時より、深い悲しみが続き、ネコのいない生活がこれほど虚しいものであったのかを思い知ることになりました。
そして、そのネコが亡くなってから、三ヶ月もたたないうちに、次のネコたちを飼い始め、はじめのネコとは比べ物にならないほど、真剣に、一所懸命、新しいネコたちの世話をするようになったのです。
この本は、そのような私の経験を踏まえて、いつか、かわいがっていたネコとの悲しい別れが来ても、決して後悔しないネコの飼い方とはどのようなものなのか、自分の経験を踏まえて綴ったものです。
ネコの飼い方については、市販の類書にあるような、一般的な、通り一遍の内容ではなく、我が家で暮らすネコたちの実例を多数交え、具体的なイメージをとらえやすいよう工夫しました。
本書が、ネコと暮らしている、あるいは、これからネコと暮らしたいと考えている読者の皆様の少しでもお役に立てば幸いです。

Bacon and a Ball? Can life get any better?
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
Come on.. these balls are the best. They smell like bacon, yes, they really do. They are durable and squeak. Upon aggressive play, the squeak will die out but the ball will still be useable.

She LOVES this ball
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Our dog likes toys, but this ball is now her favorite ball. She even took it to bed with her last night. Our dog is 65 pounds, but she likes smaller toys so I ordered the small ball. It’s a good size. It’s nice and soft and squeaks. She seems to kills the squeaker right away, but she didn’t with this ball. It seems to be the least amount of money I’ve spent on a toy for her and it’s her favorite. I ordered another one just to have on hand. This toy is a great bargain!

Not Durable Enough for a Dachshund to be Left Alone With (Updated)
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
I just received these balls today and got one out for my daughter's Dachshund. She loved it for about 15 minutes and then gnawed a huge chunk out of it. It was in the garbage within 20 minutes of receiving it. I'm not even going to give her the other ones. We had an issue once before where she was chewing on her Kong and swallowed some pieces. It messed up her digestion for quite a while. Not taking the chance with these balls. Too bad because they have nice bounce and good squeak. She was thrilled with it until we saw that she ruined it and we quickly took it away from her. If you have a Dachshund or other aggressive chewer, I'd look for something else.
UPDATE - I've bumped up the rating by 2 stars, changed the review title, and ordered another set. We found that we can't leave the dog alone with the ball, but if we use it to play with her, we can monitor when she starts to aggressively gnaw at it. So now, it's more of a fetch ball and we've taught her how to stop gnawing it and drop it for another chase. They still give in to her sharp little teeth more easily than other toys, but she really loves them and gets so excited when we get one out. It's easily her favorite toy, and who doesn't want to see their pup happy?! It's definitely not a chew toy, but it's been great as a fetch ball. If you go into it with that understanding, you and your pup will both be happier with the product.

Our Dogs Are Obsessed. The Squeak Is Intense.
Style: Large Ball, Size: 3 Count, Style: Large Ball, Size: 3 Count
BLUF: Our dogs absolutely love these — the squeak is loud enough that we sometimes have to take them away.
---
Our dogs went crazy for these the moment we opened the pack. They’re durable, super bouncy, and easily became the new favorite toys in the house. The only thing to know is that the squeak is loud — like “I need to take this away for a minute” loud. But honestly, that’s probably why the dogs love them so much. Great value for a 3‑pack and perfect for pups who enjoy a good squeaky toy.

A great toy for any dog!
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count, Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
The Hartz Duraplay ball is great! My 4 1/2 yr. old Pug has never liked playing with them before. He has gone crazy for this ball. He has no trouble grabbing it with is mouth. He ever gets it to squeak with his feet. I think it’s a great dog toy. Excellent!
