As we all know, The Machines will eventually take over. I for one welcome our future robot overlords, but not everyone is as receptive to mankind's inevitable, glorious destiny.

It seems the people of the 22nd century have realized this as well. Just as they sent one of their robot cats to prepare a young man to have a financially secure life, they seem to have sent lesser copies to Bandai, the better to lessen the shock of the eventual violent takeover.

Sold as "My Doraemon," the desktop cats can respond to what you're saying, use built-in motion sensors to face you when speaking, or comment on things like current weather conditions or holidays.

Hit the link here, and then prepare to toss roughly $300 into Bandai's 4-dimension pocket. Personally, I'd pay much more if what they were selling was an actual 4-dimensional pocket.
