Robo-Cat

Much like [url=http://www.scifi.com/robocop/]RoboCop[/url] (minus the armor, weapons, and surly cyborg disposition), Sega Toys brings the world the "Near Me"- a furry robotic cat. Story courtesy [url=http://gadgets.3yen.com/2005-02-10/virtual-pet-cat/]3-yen[/url]. [quote]The Near Me (playing on the sound “nya", which is the Japanese for “meow” and sounds like to “near") is a furry cat robot that could almost pass for a real life (but kinda stupid) kitty.[/quote] Cost? 35,000 yen ~ $350 US.
