Wow, it's September, the first day of Pet Design Month here on AT. This is the month that we dig deep to find and share those solutions to the problems that our pets bring - much as we love them - into our home. To kick it off, I want to highlight three classics that deal with CLEANING UP...

 
 

Chris' Cat Jet (above) is a hilarious original video by Clark Ov Saturn and features an original DIY invention for cat litter smell. For hair cleanup, our two Roomba review posts have been surprisingly positive and very popular. Roomba = good! But we could also use some new voices. Got pets? Jump in and sound off!

I have a dog and a roomba. It's a great combo - not that the roomba is any better at vacuuming than the traditional, just that it's easier so it actually gets done. If only it could do stairs...

How much noise does one of these vacuums make for the people who might live under you in an apartment building? You turn it on and leave for work and all day it drives someone nuts under you---I'm talking hardwood floors.

poptart - my roomba is much quieter than a normal vacuum. And it doesn't run all day - they go for less than an hour or so.
