Good for old or overweight lap-cat wannabees. In the standing position, the pants look like incredibly wide bell-bottoms (I've seen recent pictures of these pants with a foot-end opening diametre of, like, 2 feet...uh, 60 centimetres, to avoid confusion). But when you sit down, the firm foam-rubber inner
architecture is revealed as a wee staircase, leading from the floor to knee-hight. so your ailing pet can gracefully ascend to your lap. Or your lazy pet can climb up with out jumping half way and then clawing his/her way up the rest.

I'm so relieved that this isn't just another stupid "pants" idea from Resarf that I'll give you a croissant, even though I loathe and detest all felines. |
|
| |
Can I suggest a latex or PVC front to the pants so that things are "containable" when Old Tom loses bladder control ? |
|
| |
[8th of 7] good idea. much easier to clean. |
|
| |
I've added a link to a concept picture. |
|
| |
Corduroy is about the same thing. |
|
| |
hmm. maybe strap-ons, [bliss]? or maybe the chair needs to be reworked, rather than the pants. But I thought they looked rather schwanky. I'm considering selling the design...any takers? Resarf? |
|
| |
Despite the fact that my cat is the size of a small cocker spaniel (really) and middle-aged, he still makes vertical trips. I would like to keep him down. |
|
| |
Nevertheless I suppose the need exists for other felines. I'm all for strap-ons: tighten garter belt around leg, fasten small molded staircase onto thigh, and hold still with small can of tuna fish in hand until puss gets the point. Remove before re-ambulating. |
|
| |
How disgustingly sweet is that link {bliss]? I can't believe it's allowed on the internet. I love cats, but ugh - check out the number one kitten (and the comments). |
|
| |
oh...sorry. gotta watch what I say, dammit. I rather like number 9. |
|
| |
No 5 *is* my backgarden but who took the picture I have no idea. croissant Mat. the numbers keep changing the one I referred to was called "feral cats" |
|

For really old cats, the stairs could be replaced by an escalator. Or elasticated turn-ups acting as catapults/trampolines (cat climbs in, bounces up and down, and eventually reaches a sufficient height). |
|
| |
double helix escalators with a change over in the crutch area |
|
| |
Oh! [pottedstu] Your trampoline idea just gave me a great idea! Kitty stilts - that way they wouldn't have to climb up at all! |
|
| |
[po] a double helix escalator would allow for two cats, taking turns. |
|
| |
I'm Ok with cats. Don't like fat cats. Like piccies. Overall neutral but, if you can make the steps a bit shallower so my pet lobster can get up there, you might be in business. |
|
| |
I'll make them shallower AND deeper, filled with water, so your pet salmon can run up your leg if you like. |
|
| |
8th.. I was thinking the same thing about another resarf idea.. maybe he combined pole pants with stair pants to give you a pants playground.. climb up, slide down, climb up, slide down.. |
