where can I buy this cat microwave neck warmer and how much does it cost?

I’m sure the people with chronic neck pain who need these are just astounded they can’t, you know, file their W2s into the fireproofed safe.

It’s funny and cute. If this was just a neck support covered in blue terrycloth would it be featured here? Probably not.

You guys should feature thermometers next, they don’t do anything except take temperatures!

You can make your own with a sock & some rice. Pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

I have one of these in my car. I was in an accident a number of years ago, and long car trips can make my neck sore. I don’t need to heat it or anything, it just gives my neck a little more support. It’s well worth it, and it lives in the back window of my car when I don’t need it.

I gave the otter version of this to a friend who had just had a baby, and it was well-received. It seems unitaskers are common among the infant set.

Creepy! But, not necessarily a unitasker. It could double as a stuffed toy for a small child!

As weird as this cat thing is, those neck warmers are apparently a major blessing to people who get migraines, so they aren’t necessarily clutter for those people.

If you can stand the smell…

A friend gave me a gift like this once (it wasn’t a cute furry kitten though). I heated it up and tried to put it on my back, but the “lovely buckwheat and lavender scent” nearly knocked me out! I had to put the d@mn thing in the garage and air out my house for hours.

It may serve only one purpose, but it’s a VERY important and recurring purpose - at least for females.

Placed on the abdomen, it also melts away menstrual cramps. I call that worth the half a cubic foot it takes up in my cupboard.

Darn it! My old roommate and i were going to make our first million on this…we were at school and she missed her actual cat, who would happily curl up on her shoulders.
