Title: pets chewing
Post by: red on February 11, 2009, 10:50:35 PM

does anyone who wears the pump have any pets?

i was wondering if ur pet(s) chews on the plastic tubing??

do you have to hide the pump from the pet so that they dont chew on the plastic?

i want a pet but am scared that they will play with the pump or the site when its attatched to me.

any help with this...

Yes, my cat liked to chew on the plastic line. So I try to educate her well. Most of the times I was wearing a large pullover - also to stop people staring. I was wearing the pump on my belt and the porth is under my armpit. But so far as I know I am the only one who used an easypump.

Btw what pet do you want? It will be a bit clumsy when you take a mouse... ;) For raising a cat you need a plant spray ;)

Hi red,
MaryoOm is right. Your pets won't chew on it as you wear it hidden.
Sometimes my cats may try to swipe it if it hangs down but generally they leave it alone.
I even let my cats sleep on my bed at night with the tubing fully exposed. They seem to know that its mummys and they leave it.
