it's official, the world has gone mad and that's my news for today. That's what I'm talking. Minister Mannix, how are you, my friend? What is going on? That's good. That's very, very good. Yeah, that's good man. Hey, you're always welcome. You know that? So we're always having a good time here. So did you hear the latest? I think I've talked about this this summer but it wasn't official yet. They were talking about building this and now they built it. So if you're following me on facebook on my personal facebook page, ah that is a nice one. If you're following on my facebook page, you're gonna see that I've been around lately. So I've been going off on some certain things and this one, I've officially decided to make it news because I think that the world has just gone mental and you'll find out in a bit, maybe. I think you've heard this because we talked about this in the past. Like I said last summer, I've talked about a little bit. Well you'll soon be able to lick your cat now. It's not soon, it is out. You can actually buy this thing. So here's the story. Have you ever wanted to lick your cat like a cat I'm talking about And by lick we mean brush with a giant rubber tongue held in your mouth. Now it might sound crazy, but licky brush is actually here. It was released at the end of january 2017 and now it's actually on facebook? You can go out, you can buy this thing. So Jason and Tara O'Meara invented the kooky cat brush and and they had started a Kickstarter campaign back in May of 2016 to raise the funds to make them. The american couple set out to raise 3 $36,500 to fund the manufacturing of 2500 brushes, The minimum factory order amount. And they did it within two weeks and went on to raise $52,000 from 2000 to backers during the 38 day campaign, Tara says she and Jason came up with the unique idea by observing their own three cats. Now they say, we're creators, we try to look at the world and our animals from a different perspective and the question, what would they want? And they ask themselves the question, what would a cat want? And if they could design products, what would they make? We're looking at for the next big thing to offer cat parents while watching our cats groom each other. We observed that it's only cats who get along clean. Yeah, cats are infamous for their bathing rituals. What may seem like obsessive cleaning is in most cases perfectly normal feline behavior. Now the average cat spends a significant amount of its day grooming itself says. Andrew O'shea of Sydney animal behavior services and it's partly because they like being clean and partly because they are a cat grooming is part of the cleaning process of control parasites and remove dirt. Now, dr O'Shay says cats also groom other cats in their family if they are comfortable with the family members. So for cats to groom each other, they need to be relaxed. He says if there is mutual grooming it means they are bonded to each other. I call it foreplay now Tara and Jason who describe themselves as cat enthusiasts believe that cats see their humans as big cats, but Dr O'Shay disagrees. He says humans cannot imitate the actions of a cat closely enough for it to mean anything to the cat. So no matter how cat like a human, maybe they're going to be using different body language and interacting with the cat differently. So they are not going to see the human as another cat. So cats do not see humans as big cats. They see the as a different species and communicate with them in a different way. Now, regardless of that, the O'mara's are confident that their new cat product will bring joy and happiness to cats and their owners. Not only is the brush designed to strengthen the relationship between you and your cat, Tara says it is soothing and meditative. Now when you're using it it's a single minded task, you can't focus on anything else while you are using licky brush because it's taken up so much of your visual space and you're holding your cat, it's meditative meditative to use Tara says Now when you look at this thing looks like a flat ***** like seriously and it's ribbed as you can see it's ribbed. So right there. Anyway, so it sounds like a loving way to pamper your pet. But is it crossing a line? **** yeah, it's crossing a line. We don't think it's crossing a line. The O'mara said, we think it's sweet, you can hold your cat in your arms like a baby and get it in there. For some people, it's crossing a line. The response has been mostly positive, but of course there's been a few haters and some who think the cat brush is way too weird. You think just a tad, the licky brush is definitely a different market and different angle. We've developed a thick skin. So now we find a lot of humor in the comments. Now, the licky brush has enjoyed some high level press in the US with laughable segments on live with kelly and an interview with jimmy Kimmel bazaar or not. The invention is bringing smiles and laughter to people, which is right on the money for Tara, We're trying to bring joy to people's lives and if we're doing that, then we are accomplishing our goal.
