Completed June 19, 2012, Miss Magnet Mouse is the first of a new line of shoulder pets whose unmarked bellies conceal powerful magnets.The internal magnets are strong enough to keep her on a metal surface, and paired with the keeper button (face and back shown at right) she should grip reliably even through blanket-weight fabric.

SAFETY WARNING! The rare earth magnets used here are not toys. Keep them out of reach of children or anyone else who might be tempted to swallow one, and at least 4" away from anything they might damage: magnetic media of all sorts, including credit cards, as well as computer monitors and other electronic appliances, including medical aids such as pacemakers.

Miss Magnet has a home with a happy mouse-tester, but you can write to the Salamander if you’d like to discuss the creation of someone similar for yourself.
