ok next question.
Something came out in 1947 that made having a housepet ever so much easier. What was it?
1) It was actually flea powder, useful on all furry friends. Doctor Jeremiah Wilkinson, a chemist, put it on the market as an alternative to costly other ways to de-bug dogs.
2) Easy one. That'd be "Kitty Litter". A fellow named Ed Lowe is responsible for it - he felt that there had to be a more sensible way for Whiskers to relieve himself other than into sand or ashes.
3) Believe it or not it is those little swinging perches in birdcages (thought up by housewife, and bird lover, Delores Hurbin). She noticed her feathered pals squawking a lot and simply wanted to give them something new to amuse themselves with.
4) I'm sure on this one. It was the electric fence, designed by Dr. Emil Postelwaithe. Gave the animals a small zap if they tried to run off.

the answer was - as you seemed to know... number 2
Easy one. That'd be "Kitty Litter". A fellow named Ed Lowe is responsible for it - he felt that there had to be a more sensible way for Whiskers to relieve himself other than into sand or ashes..
Yes, someone has the patent on "Kitty Litter". Mr. Lowe, after being released from military service, went home and joined his father's company (called 'Fuller's Earth' in St. Louis, Missouri). They sold industrial absorbents there. In 1947 young Mr. Lowe was approached by a neighbor, wondering if there was a better thing to fill her cat's litter box with. He came up with this blend of ingredients that made litter box maintenence much more efficient. He took it to a pet store, in ten pound bags, and gave it away since he thought that the cost of this concoction would never sell next to bag of sand that was nearly free (and he was only hoping to charge 65 cents!). Very soon cat owners were happily willing to pay up. The rest is kitty history.

Next one - NO GOOGLING
The Featherleg Baboon is a type of what?
1) This sounds bizarre but it's a sort of chihuahua. They are called that because they are not very smart and nearly impossible to train.
2) Duh! It's a monkey, of course. It's a little dwarf species that can be found mostly in the Congo.
3) Ugh! Those things give me the creeps - but it is a type of tarantula. Nasty little critters.
4)Actually, it's a bird. The featherleg baboon is a buzzard that is especially hostile. They've been known to attack human beings for no reason at all.
