You have a Roomba, but do you have any pets?

That was hilarious.

Years ago I heard some meowing in a strange voice. Investigating, I found a
wee feral kitten who had wandered in through the open door looking for the
never-empty food bowl. He found it, but ...

His tail was a mess; no fur, black, necrotic...

Scooped him up and off to the vet.

"Yep," said the vet. "Tail's gotta go."

That's how the kitten got his name.

Fast forward to yesterday. Bob (the cat) watched the Roomba do its thing
with some curiosity. He finally got tired of the silliness and pulled an
Elvis by leaving the bedroom.

I don't hold much hope for him riding on it.



I've been keeping my eyes open at the thrift stores and yard sales for
an early-model Roomba at the gag-gift price point, to leave at my
sister's house to exercise and amuse the cat while they are both gone
ten hours a day. (rescue cat, already declawed when they got it, so
outside is not an option.) Roomba doesn't even have to suck any more,
just wander around. Cat was a skinny little thing when they got it, but
it is starting to pork up now, living the easy life.
