You know the old cliche that kids would rather play with the cardboard box than the expensive toy that came in it? The same holds true for pets. There are plenty of fun things around the house that you can turn into easy pet entertainment.

For cats: Ball up some used (but clean) tin foil and toss it - even more fun, put a pinch of catnip inside the ball and watch your cat go nuts. Tape up a cardboard box and cut a cat-sized hole into it - toss in some catnip and you've got a cat condo that's good for at least a few days of fun.

For dogs: Put a couple of old tennis balls into a old (but clean) sock that you don't want any more. Tie the sock at the top and you've got a brand new toy! To entice your dog to use it, put some kibble or another smelly treat at the bottom of the sock before you tie it.

Dogs are abandoned and surrendered to shelters  for different reasons. Although all dogs in shelters are forced to face difficult issues, these problems seem to become more intense for animals as they age. Please consider adopting a senior dog, they can make devoted and loving companions.

Cool pet hair trick

Adopt-a-Pet.com co-founder David Meyer brings us this awesome trick for removing pet hair from furniture.  It's simple, but it's so effective you won't believe it.

Just put on a latex glove or dishwashing glove and run your hand over the surface of your furniture.  The pet hair balls right up!  All of us at Adopt-a-Pet.com have practically had latex gloves permanently attached to our hands since this discovery, so we thought we'd pass it along to you! Hope it makes your life a little easier.
