It would freak me out to be in the room with one of those. I just love real kitties too much and that robotic thing freaks me the hell out.

The loneliness this implies almost makes me want to cry.

That "cat" would make quick work of that "chick" (in the "real" world).

Also, I wonder if the manufacturers give it fake tuna-breath?

That is way too sad.

On the bright side, this means that technology is progressing to the point where we may actually be able to all have our very own robotic GorillaBuddy™ soon, once the kinks with the OrangOPal™ are worked out.
