The Orbit supports cats up to 30 lbs, and its mat is removable for easy washing.

Tin Can

Tin Can WiFi Phone

$100.00

Landlines are being reinstalled in some homes with kids as a means for them to call their friends in a more analog and controlled way. Tin Can is a WiFi phone that lets kids call friends with a Tin Can for free; an app allows you to control which numbers they can call. It replicates traditional wired handsets though it runs entirely on WiFi. The company also offers a paid plan for $10 a month that allows calls to / from the Tin Can from any number that uses the same app for access. No robocalls, no unknown numbers, etc.—just the ability for kids to call only the friends and family that you permit.
