A powerful dog that spots a cat while on walkies can be difficult to restrain.

Introducing Scampers. With this slick pair of pairs of slippery dog shoes, the force of his exuberance will be tempered, even if his temper isn't.

The deluxe version features cartoon sound effects to accompany the fruitless skittering efforts.

       These are shoes that the dog has to wear every time they go out. I suppose that, since they are a constant precursor to walkies, and don't *usually* impede it, the dog accepts them in the same way that it accepts the leash. You'd better introduce them early, though.   

       So, let's suppose you've solved the problem of getting the shoes on the dog; how will they work? How do you suddenly vary the coefficient of friction of dinky little booties?   

       Are we doing hagfish slime?   

       Are we retracting many little teeth into a Teflon backboard?

Extend Teflon extensions. Extrude oil. Deploy balloon, reducing ground-paw friction.

       Maybe exude, rather than extrude?   

       So, we imagine little reservoirs in the uppers of the shoes, and we top them up from time to time. Maybe olive oil - something non-toxic, because some licking is going to be inevitable.   

       OK; [+]

       If it tastes like meat we can definitely get the dog to stop but we'll be training him to do whatever it takes to get that tasty, tasty ooze.
