Pushing around the internetz, minding my own business, I fell upon an old Gizmodo article of a year ago about a cat that you can buy, from Japan. No ordinary cat, no, but a robotic electrocute your-family-and-take-over-the-house sort of kitty. Scarily realistic, you would wonder if children would be able to sleep at night after seeing this thing for more than 5 minutes.. But then you find out, what’s even stranger is that this metallic feline is aimed at people that can’t own animals, for whatever reason. Kill it I say, and save the free world.

In fact, what’s probably scarier, is that if you search for the Yume Neko Smile cat you get lots of people scared by it, rather than an actual advert to buy the thing. Maybe everyone has risen up and burnt the factory down, to save humanity. Look below for the “First Yume Neko Smile cat in Sweden”? and the last, no doubt…

Hearing the servos whirring and the badly sampled purring is eerie.. Aaagh! Save us!
