Will it catch mice? I had to catch one over the weekend (major emotional trauma and since I let it go outside, I am sure it will just come back). I am allergic to animal dander so this would be ideal if it hunted.

@Curves: You would welcome a hunting killbot in the house? You're a strong woman, dear Curves.

@aec007: That is a cool machine, and would totally keep those annoying kids off my lawn, but in the case of the mouse, I couldnt kill it, I had to catch the damn thing. Robokitty could have taken care of it for me, allowing me to go back to screaming, which in the natural order, is my job.

No robot, no matter how sophisticated man's devices ever become, will ever be able to sit there, on the edge of some high point in the room, with a sleepy judging gaze, surveying its realm and the bipedal pet(s) it adopted. There's no adequate replacement for a real cat. And you plebes can keep your cat eating/burning/milking jokes to yourselves, ya freaks!

@Kaiser-Machead: I think Dita dozed off when you started talking?

Could you repeat that middle part? The part about the sleeping...

@OMG! Ponies!: My cats have the same response. That's why God invented radio-controlled flying toys.

Neither Maxie nor Dita approve of this. Further, neither feel in the least bit threatened.

@OMG! Ponies!: Yeah, Sebastian disapproves also. Somehow I get the feeling that dogs are a lot more easy to emulate than cats. Cats have something to them that robots haven't yet achieved. But Sony has already come close for dogs with the Aibo.

Yes, I know that sentence is all whacky.

@orphic1: named his desktop ThunderPrincess.: I have the same collar for my idiot cat, minus the bell. All my cats have a "charm" on their collars.
