The cat that isn’t a cat

With the technological development of this new era, governed by gadgets of all sorts, you can be easily fooled by devices that you think wouldn’t expect to be what they are, by creatures that are able to sing and dance, to imitate an impressive number of sounds and so on.

When you take a short glance to the picture above, the first thing to come to your head is that the little cat has a very haughty attitude, while being caressed. However, you should know that the cat isn’t a cat, after all.

Sega Toys are those who brought the Dream Dog DX in the market and they thought it’s a very good idea to release another pet, which is called the Dream Cat Venus. You’ll be surprised to see that the robotic cat acts just like a real one, as it responds to external stimuli, both tactile and auditory. The Dream Cat Venus is the result of the efforts made by a team of researchers from the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, which is part of the Tohoku University, Japan.
The cat is very mindful of your attitude with regard to it, and will let you know whenever it feels neglected. If you’re willing to spend 10,500 yen (which means approximately $110) on the Dream Cat Venus, then you’ll have the chance to own this soulless soul at your disposal, whenever you feel like it.
