Beyond CES 2018: Hasbro Companion Pet Cat relieves the need for kitty litter




Beyond the Vacuum: Companion Robots Coming Home.  (Robotics Business Review, 3/8/2018)
A lifelike cat or dog, complete with the look and feel of a well-groomed feline or puppy, sits on your lap. As you pet it, the dog or cat reacts. Put the cat on the couch, and it stretches, licks its paws, and acts like a cat — without any of the undesirable parts of owning a feline like veterinarian bills, feeding, or litter box cleaning. Blue Frog Robotics

Hasbro Joy for All companion pets.  ($99.95)

Very few unhappy customers
