Robocot: the perfect pet that doesn't need to be fed

Without a cat, life is not the same. The main thing we love about fluffy purrs is their amazing talent for generating comfort. True, the banal rules of maintenance often become an obstacle on the way to buying a four-legged friend for a child or the elderly: comfort is comfort, and the animal needs to be fed and the tray cleaned in time. Whether it's a robocot: always fluffy, in a good mood and no "Whisky" is needed.

Even today, robots will not surprise anyone. Even older people. It is the elderly who are primarily targeted by the new product from Hasbro-the interactive robocot Joy For All ("Joy for all"). The robot is designed to provide a sense of comfort, home comfort and joy from communicating with the animal, but it does not require care at all.

Joy For All robocats can do a lot of things that ordinary domestic cats can do. Except for going to the tray and demanding food.

The electronic pet is interactive: stroke the cat and it will start purring. Manufacturers promise that the vibration system inside the " cat " reproduces a sound identical to the natural one.

Robocots can meow, ask for attention, wash their faces, and even turn their tummy up. And they are always in a good mood and are ready to substitute the back and purr. Which is not always typical of their fluffy prototypes.

Of course, despite the soft similarity and all the interactivity, the robocot will never be able to fully replace a real pet. But this new product has a very specific task: the robocot is created to be a companion for the elderly, to please them with affection, but not to require care, which the elderly sometimes, unfortunately, can not afford. In addition, the Joy For All cat is unlikely to be able to scratch or cause other inconveniences.

Robocots are available only in one "breed", but in three different colors: you can get a white, gray or red "cat". The cost of an interactive toy is $ 99. Considering that you do not have to spend money on food and other related cat accessories — a good deal.
