22 Products For Your Pet Who Demands Attention
A Feliway calming diffuser for your "Velcro cat" who cries all day when you're at work or scratches at the door for late-night cuddles. Plug it into the wall, and it'll release drug-free, non-sedating pheromones that only your cat can smell, leaving them calmer and more relaxed. And it covers up to 700 square feet — so no more having to worry about anxious spraying or your cat following you to the bathroom!
A Snuggle Puppy toy with a realistic heartbeat and soothing heat pack that'll give your fur babe the illusion they're cuddled up on your chest, even when you're not home or have to step away for work. It's the best cuddle buddy for pups suffering from separation anxiety or just adapting to a new home.
A fleece, nonslip foraging mat offering so many nooks and crannies to hide treats, your small critter will be sniffing through them for hours. The mat's bright colors will grab your pet's attention so you can finally get your full eight hours of sleep without hearing a thumping tantrum from your bunny friend.
A comfy donut calming bed so your fur baby can stop hogging your entire human-sized bed, pushing you off the edge or putting their stinky Frito feet in your face. It's 20% more plush than normal pet beds, guaranteeing your sleepy pup or kitty will be comfier *and* calmer throughout the night.
A colorful swinging play set to keep your sassy flying friend busy instead of them squawking at you for attention. This pack contains 11 different easy-to-hang toys with all the bells and whistles so your small birds will never run out of fun options to play and chew on. "POLLY WANTS TOYS!" Well, say no more!
A motion-activated laser that'll keep your cat pouncing for hours so you can finally attack that mountain of laundry they keep lying on. The moment your kitty walks by, the laser fires up, shooting beams around the room that they can chase and chase until they dramatically flop over from exhaustion, so burned out that they can't move a single whisker anymore.
Or a rechargeable touch-activated ball ready to capture your dog's attention with flashing lights and a fast-paced wild mode that bounces and rolls the ball all over the room. Prepare to just sit back and laugh while they chaotically try to keep up with it!
A pack of hanging chew toys that'll definitely result in some happy hops and popcorning! These chews contain a variety of textures and real Timothy grass that'll not only keep your bunny, guinea pig, or other small critter entertained but can also help their digestion and teeth. Your pet can finally have some real stimulation instead of trying to chew another hole in your rug.
A ThunderShirt for days when your pup can't handle their anxious shakes — whether from a fear of fireworks or just a loud doorbell — and their only safe space is in your arms. The shirt swaddles their neck and torso, providing gentle pressure so they can feel comfort and security even when you're gone (though you do wish you could just cuddle them all day long).
A space bubble backpack because guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and hedgehogs deserve to see the world too! This backpack has a clear bubble window and three large ventilation holes so your pet can safely take in all the sights, and you'll have a clear view of them the whole trip. Now your hamster can people-watch while you have a picnic at the park (they're definitely judging everyone's outfits). And for those pets requiring frequent vet visits, this is definitely a cuter option than a traditional carrier.
A Furbo dog camera if you constantly feel guilty leaving your anxious dog behind, even for a quick grocery run. It has a two-way speaker and treat dispenser, so by using the Furbo app, you can send your love no matter the distance or be notified when your dog is whining or barking (because they miss you). You can check in as much as you like, giving them comfort and yourself peace of mind that they're safe...and off the furniture.
A lick mat that suctions to any hard, flat surface so you can keep your fur baby distracted with a tasty treat while they get a bath — or when you're trying to sneak away to take a bath yourself. Smear on some wet food, yogurt, or peanut butter, and they'll be so zoned in trying to get every last bit, they won't even miss you. Quick owner tip: Freeze your mat to keep your pet cool and distracted for 10 times longer!
A self-grooming cat brush for whenever your overly attached cat doesn't get the hint that you're too busy to give them scratches. This is the true definition of kitty self-care! The curved design and adhesive backing allow you to stick it onto any corner (at cat height, of course) so that whenever your feline struts by, they can't help but get a quick rub sesh in. Psst — the secret catnip compartment makes it especially irresistible. 👀
A birdie basketball hoop because surprisingly, birds are really good at dunking (with a ball chain attachment, obvi). This is endless fun for your birdie friend and will keep them mostly quiet during your work calls. Be warned, though: You might hear them yell "KOBE!" every now and then.
An automatic ball launcher that can keep your dog sprinting without you throwing out your good arm. This launcher is designed to be the perfect height so that your pup (if trained) could even put the ball in all by themselves (because, personally, touching the slobbery tennis ball is the worst part). You can also adjust the throwing distance depending on how far your pup can run or keep up.
A Fitbark, a waterproof activity monitor that clips onto their collar and keeps track of basic metrics like distance walked, sleep quality, stress levels, and more, letting you keep tabs on your fur bestie from afar and react to any concerning changes by sharing that data with your vet. It's basically a Fitbit for your dog — and you can sync it to your Fitbit or Apple Watch, so now you both can crush your step challenge for the day!
Zesty Paws calming chews formulated to help keep your dog feeling zen so you don't have to worry about getting any more noise complaints that your dog has been wailing all day while waiting for you to get back from work. These can help lower their stress levels and reduce anxious shakes so they can go back to being happy pups!
Enrichment puzzles for those days when a game of fetch and a mile-long walk still won't tire out your pup. This puzzle has so many hidden compartments, your dog will be busy flipping open lids, sliding pieces, and sniffing for snacks — finally giving you a break from playtime.
A cat tree if your cat loves to jump on the kitchen counter to get your attention, or their favorite spot is weirdly on top of the fridge. This cat tree has so many levels (plus hanging toys and scratch pads) to keep your pouncing kitty entertained all day long and scratch that itch they have of being on high surfaces. It'll be their own little paradise — so now you can go back to your paradise of rotting on the couch (and not worrying about where your cat has jumped to next).
A tug of war toy here to save you from rope burn or almost breaking a finger, because how are dogs sooo strong?! This bungee rope ties to a tree, letting your dog pull, launch, and swing to their heart's content. It's endless fun for them and entertainment for you as you watch your pup frantically swing through the air like an acrobat.
A laptop scratching board if your cat can't resist stepping all over your keyboard and cleaning your screen with their fur when you don't give them the time of day. This toy mimics the real thing with its own "mouse," a screen showing a video chat with their cat BFFs, a ball chase, and a scratchpad keyboard. Now your cat can finally stop interrupting all your Zoom calls, causing your coworkers to stop and go, "Aww, is that your cat!?"

Man Goes Berserk on American Airlines Flight Over a Charging Cable
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman on TikTok filmed a man completely losing his cool on an American Airlines flight, even before it took off from Charlotte to Denver. According to Rebecca Cook, going by the username rebeccacook748 on the platform, the man was denied a charging cable and a first-class seat, which lead to a profane meltdown. Another man told the belligerent passenger not to speak disrespectfully to women. "If she's being a b****, I'm gonna call it out, bro," he yelled. "Shut the f*** up and sit down, bro. You have three f***ing seconds before I f*** you up." Stock image: American Airlines planes at an airport. Stock image: American Airlines planes at an airport. Photo by Kameraworld / Getty Images The man continued to bellow at the woman, as well as other passengers who tried to intervene. "I have four sisters," he shouted. "If I wanna talk to a b**** like that, I f***ing will." As passengers looked on, he stormed to the front of the plane telling someone to walk off with him, then he walked back, passing a man who apparently stuck his leg out. "Come on, bro," he said on camera, "You're gonna try to trip me, bro? You're a p****, bro." Throughout the video, other passengers chuckled at the man's explosion. The man who tried to trip the passenger munched on Frito chips, watching with apparent interest. "My dude with the Fritos understood the assignment," a viewer quipped in the comments. In a statement to Newsweek, American Airlines said the man was removed for "disruptive behavior" prior to departure. "The flight continued as scheduled following the removal," a spokesperson said. "We thank our customers for their patience and apologize for the inconvenience." Users React TikTok users seemed to enjoy the opportunity to tee off on the unruly passenger, amid more than 400 comments and almost 42,000 views within two days. "No-neck, Temu dupe Jonah Hill stomping down the aisles is killing me," one wrote. "No-Fly List forever," a critic declared, to which Cook replied: "That's what I was thinking too." A contributor shared that their mother worked as a flight attendant for 44 years: "He is the reason she kept an ice mallet in her pocket at all times." Finally, one pundit had a pertinent question: "Who are his sisters? I'd be so embarrassed, [Oh my God]." Other Flight Issues Flights certainly offer plenty of opportunities for drama. One passenger felt something on her feet and looked down to discover two cockroaches crawling across her. "I can't imagine from what part of the world these roaches must [have] boarded the flight," the passenger wrote, "This is extremely unacceptable. "In my 15 years flying, I've never before seen roaches on a plane until now." However, not every flight is unpleasant. A traveler went viral sharing his trans-Atlantic flight from London to New York, which featured hardly anyone else on board. "Basically flew private," the traveler wrote.

Judge dismisses suit of ex-janitor who says he invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos
For years, the purported origin story of Flamin' Hot Cheetos flourished through the internet and beyond as a spicy retelling of the American Dream, with self-proclaimed inventor of the snack Richard Montañez recounting how he came up with the idea while working as janitor for Frito-Lay. But a Los Angeles Times investigation in 2021 threw a wrench into the rags-to-riches tale, with Frito-Lay disputing Montañez's claim and telling the newspaper that 'the facts do not support the urban legend.'
