Robot Cats Won’t Make You Sneeze

I love cats. It’s too bad I’m so damned allergic to the beasts. But is there really anything more satisfying than something warm and fuzzy and purring? A robot cat may be just what I need, especially one that’s touch sensitive and will purr when you rub its back. The Purring Cat also makes mewing noises when you scratch its head, and its belly moves in and out to simulate breathing. It’s only $10, probably because it doesn’t include any other features that you might enjoy in a real cat, like inexplicably deciding to try and claw your eyes out.
If you’re looking for something a bit more lifelike that will get pissed off if you abuse it, here’s a robot cat from Segatoys featuring authentic tail pulling, yowling action:
Cost: about $80.

Its possible to get real cats that are allergie free. They have fur and all, I think they are from bengal.
