Robot Cat 'NeCoRo'

Ssmoimo writes: "Omron's robot pet developing department chief Toshihiro Tashima introduces "NeCoRo" in Tokyo Tuesday. The robotic cat will go on sale in November for about $1,530." Chris DiBona said it was "freaky", and I think that's as good a description as any. You can see this thing sucking the breath out of a small child, can't you?

    I wonder if Dr Evil would notice if I swapped his cat for one of these.

    Dr Evil: Mr Bigglesworth, attack Mr Bond!
    Cat: meow...
    Dr Evil: Mr Bigglesworth, attack Mr Bond!
    Cat: purr....
    Dr Evil: That's it, you're fired!
    Mini-me: <giggle>...
