The invention relates to canned pet foods and to a process for preparing them. Meat and gravy pet foods are prepared which are highly palatable due to high meat and significant fat contents. The meaty pieces exhibit high integrity and the gravy component is flowable from the can and coats the meaty pieces to provide a high sheen with no significant visible fat in the gravy.

An infant's swing is disclosed which has a simple construction including a stationary main frame and a reciprocable infant-swinging structure. The swing may be operated with a commercially available rechargeable or alkaline battery or transformer supplying current at no more than about 24 volts. The low voltage current is used to actuate a solenoid fixedly mounted on the main frame in a unique manner so as to use a compensating extensible spring. This spring drivingly engages an infant's seat while simultaneously compensating for the difference between the linear velocity of the solenoid's plunger and the angular velocity of hangers supporting the reciprocable seat. Current is supplied to the solenoid in pulses having a duration of less than about 0.5 second so as to conserve the battery. The swing may also be operated with a D-C transformer providing current at about 2 amperes and preferably 3 or 4 volts.
