This is a commercial for a horrifying Japanese robotic kitty called Yume Neko Smile. It's just like a real cat, except it won't leave dead birds on your doorstep, won't scratch up your furniture and doesn't have a soul. Buy yours today! [Akihabara News]

...but most importantly, will it eat you when you die?
I'm not getting this unless it can also dry hump my leg...and by leg I mean my face...what?...awkward.
...or cough up hairballs!
Just... wow. That video made my day.
Thanks Giz!
I want the chicken. It looks less evil.
fuckin hilarious.. i want to buy one just so i can pull on it's tail all day..
Does it blend?
SEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
New from SEGA! Litter box and soul not included.
I so want to swing that cat around by its tail.
(a) a cat without a cat-soul is an improvement
(b) will it chase and eat that robot chicky?
But will it win a cat fight?
Cree-pee.
cats don't have souls.
that's why the steal yours when you sleep, or when you're hell-baked.
The CAT: Is it just me or does that thing's face look more like a lama? or alpaka? Still creepy.
The CHICK: mmmmm.......robo-Mcnuggets
Ya, not at all creepy! The dead eyes is what does it in. It's always the eyes.
Why would I pay $75 for that cat when I can get the chick for $20? - and keep my soul.
After watching that, my own cat is now hissing at my monitor. Hmmm...Maybe I should get one so that she can have some company. Why do I fear, though, that it would come to life at night and change her, turning her into some kind of Stepford cat?
But really, what's the point of a cat who won't leave you little dead "treats" on your pillow?
I'll wait for them to come out with a full sized robotic llama
@Cassifras: totally agree. Eat that, cat fanbois! Cats are boring, stuck up, expensive, and don't have any good exclusives. Dogs are way more awesome, have a huge library of games, and HDMI support.
Wait a minute... what are we talking about again?
I haven't had shivers like this since I first saw Chucky!!!!!
Just what my cat needs...A sex doll!
That was screwed up when they pulled its tail it made a noise that a cat actually would it you trod on it, to get that noise they must have hurt and or abused a cat, only in the far east would that be morally acceptable.
Why are the Japanese so hung up on robots? Do they know something the rest of us don't?? Something about our future???
Will there be a Toonces version to take care of all my driving needs?
If so, I'm totally getting one.
/fiery death for me.
Will the mech-cat(t's NOT a robot!) chase the mech-chick?
See what a disaster like Dreamcast can lead to? Watch out Sony. After PS3, you'll be manufacturing talking bidets...
you knew it was comin....
DOES IT GIVE MOUTH HUGS???????
yeah, we all know what happens when you take your eyes off it: it goes WHIRRRR-SHHHHH-CLUNK and then you got a 2 story tall talking cat-bot that wants to destroy mankind. actually, that'd be sorta cool.
@ ANDREBASSO:
*nananananaaa*
A Robotic Japanese pussy...
Giz wrote about something similar a few days back.

Cats don't have souls. Animals don't have souls. People are the only living things with souls everything else just dies and then they're dead. We still exist after we die.
i am in your far east, bein' powered by ur feesees.
@aviewtoa.kill.: That was a stretch. :)
oh yeah.....
i bet it coughs up HAIRY BATTERIES!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Whatever makes you sleep at night better bulb.
Umm... real cats don't even have souls. Lollz. Animals got pwned.
If I can't get it high I'm not getting one.
OLD.
Hey, if that cat comes with a sack, a few rocks and a a map to the nearest river...I'll take 2
i actually want the little chick at the end... fuck the cat... i hate cats...
I want to see my cats play with it. They hate the roomba; they'd hate a cat shaped roomba even more.
I would rather have the animatronic cat, salem, off of that tv show sabrina the teenage witch. But it sound like and would have the demeanor of dave chappell or samuel l jackson.
"Cats don't have souls. Animals don't have souls. People are the only living things with souls everything else just dies and then they're dead. We still exist after we die."
And then the Tooth Fairy, who carpools with Santa and the Easter Bunny, leaves a Susan B. Anthony dollar under your pillow.
Hey, you can't PROVE it doesn't happen, which means you're OBLIGATED to believe it, just like with the Bible.
Didn't you guys post this a few years back already?
Wow that was pretty cool! No denying that.
And I do get tired of finding dead shrews, and mice.. on my door step.. but my cat offsets it's expenses by being useful and killing pest.
But will it blend?
@andrebasso: @SomeoneUKno:
Yea, these comments should be grounds for a banning. They're getting to be just as annoying as "First!"
@Havok154: Then dont read them. Simple as that.
@SomeoneUKno:
Or how about actually contributing to the discussion instead of repeating the same, tired old meme in every single post.
On-topic: I seriously couldn't keep that thing in my house. My dog would flip and I'd have nightmares of it eating my brain.
@Havok154: Chances are, it is programmed to eat your brain. It's like a bad 80s horror movie in reality. And in Japan.
I like how all of you dumb asses who are too stupid to make a decent robot, and probably too stupid to even operate one, like to make fun of the Japanese, who will be eating your lunch when your next housekeeper is made by them. Let that thought "eat your brain."
Aaaaa... Linking back to this makes me happy. This video cracks me!
