Full Version: Pet robot pillow as a pet replacement

This may be the weirdest thing ever. It is essentially a pillow with a tail that can move when you touch it. It is sort of a headless cat robot pillow. It is for people who wants the benefits of a pet without the responsibility. Take a look for yourself.

I am not sure I would feel comfortable around a headless cat, pillow or not. If a pillow was able to comfort us we would know that by now.  So far pillows haven't worked to replace pets. Very lifelike toy animals don't replace pets. Even if the pillow  responds, it is still creepy to see a headless cat. 

I will not be preordering one, thank-you.
Oh...my....gosh! Who invented that? A headless cat robot pillow.
Can you imagine going to a business meeting and saying, "I have thought of a super new item we can manufacture. A headless cat robot pillow!"
And everyone clapping and saying, "What a splendid idea! Let's get to it then!"
Surreal.
My thoughts?

A proper cat, with a head, and maybe one that purrs mechanically would make more sense. But even then I wouldn't want one. Nope. Smiley4 

Also, what is to stop that artificial intelligence cat from malfunctioning, getting into cahoots with Amazon Echo, and ordering massive quantities of kitty litter from Amazon? It may have no head but it might have world dominance fantasies.

Even without  a head a robo-cat is a scary thing. I don't even want to think what it could do.

You have to wonder about those meetings. Someone had to suggest it and you are right other people agreed with the idea. 
That just confirms my feeling that most meetings are a waste of time. If a headless robo-cat is the best they can produce, they should have all gone golfing.

If someone wants something that acts just like a cat and looks just like a cat, why not just get a cat. There are plenty of cats in shelters who would be happy to pretend to be a robo-cat if that is what it takes to get a home.

Well said! Smiley32
So true. A real cat can love you. A headless robot pillow can't.
A person would have to be living a very sad life if their pet is a headless robo-cat pillow.
