Sure, it looks like a possessed doll, but if you can’t have a real pet cat a robotic one might work for you. These should be out some time in August for about $350US (apx.). If this is like the Sony Aibo, it will take a data card but you don’t want to think of where it goes, if you know what I mean…
It walks, makes cat noises, looks like it will play with you, and will sit on a chair and blankly stare out a window for hours and hours just like a real cat does. If you ask me, a robot cat is a much better gadget than a robot dog. You expect a dog to be bounding all over the place at the drop of a hat. Getting a robot to do that is tough, you need to plug it into the wall or it will have a 10 min. run time. A cat on the other hand is in a perpetual natural power saving mode. Brilliant!
