Cat-5 Ethernet Dog Lead
Senokian are pleased to announce what we believe to be the first ever Cat-5 dog lead - the item is for sale on E-Bay, and all proceeds will go to charity (the Lymphoma association in the UK).
UPDATE: After a few requests I am going to post a bit more about the chosen charity and why I chose them.
The proceeds of this charity auction will be going to the Lymphoma association in the UK. I have personally had first hand experience of the work they do, after my Father passed away from non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma over 4 years ago and I was diagnosed with, and now successfully in remission from, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma - the fact my father and I both had types of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is not related and just chance.
The Lymphoma Association provide emotional support and information on a range of issues to anyone with lymphatic cancer and their families, carers and friends. They do a fantastic job and were one of the first organisations I came into contact with after my diagnosis. The support they offer is invaluable.
Today I forgot my dog’s lead when bringing him to work (Archie is on Twitter, he has been banned from Facebook for not being human, this blog is named after him, and he is mentioned in our ‘working with us‘ section on our website). As a result and after a quick bit of engineering in the office we came up with the hand crafted Cat-5 dog lead you see below:
We are fairly certain we have invented the first ever Cat-5 dog lead (please let us know if there is any prior art) and thought as other people have sold a load of old crap old rope on E-Bay, we’d give it a go too and sell our high quality Cat-5 dog lead on E-Bay and donate the profits to charity.

Do you plug Archie into a rack when you get back to the office to stop him wondering off? Do his eyes light up, or even blink?

No, but I believe the Cat-5 used in this lead was originally part of an Ether-Killer Dave made.

What charity are the proceeds going to?

OK, updated, the Cat-% cable wasn’t part of an Ether-Killer Dave has just informed me, rather one that Archie chewed the end off of in the past.

It made the register under ‘useless but cool’.

Would this CAT5 lead be suitable for BDSM activities?
Is it strong enough to subvert the thrashing of the submissive as they struggle against the whip?
