hi,

I am a PhD student at The Ohio State university and I am part of a team that developed products for cats and need your opinion on them. These products are meant to increase the freedom (and happiness) of cats while keeping them safe. They also make it less emotionally draining for pet owners to go on trips. A third product eliminates litter duty and also the (ecologically unsustainable) landfill waste produced by litter boxes. I would appreciate if you e-mailed me back your answers to the questions below - concerning the marketability of products - at , before january 27. You can copy and paste the questions, then add your answers.

Questions:
1.would you use a radio fence for cats, which uses a sound (and not electric shock) to keep them within a certain perimeter as they roam outdoors, and which was proven to work?
2.would you buy it for 100$? if not please name the price you would pay: ….
3.would you use a self-recycling litter box that produces no landfill waste, elimminates odor, is safe for the cat and where the litter is periodically emptied and used as a potting mix?
4.would you buy it for 40$? If not please name the price you would pay: ….
5.would you use an accessory to your desktop computer that allows your pet to call you or invite you to video chat during your trips away from home, and vice versa?
6.would you buy it for 100$? If not please name the price you would pay: ….

Thank you for your help, my team and I hope to prove that animals can be safely raised without becoming our prisonners, or increasisng our workload.
