Necoro, the robot cat, came out in the early 2000s. It was very expensive at the time. I had high hopes that future robo pets would be even better!



Is that a robot pet, or an experiment to determine if the Uncanny Valley applies to animals?

I honestly think horses are the worst pet. They're stupid, they're expensive, they are prone to sickness and injury, they get spooked at everything and anything and they are a lot of work and effort. Even the hardier breeds are still quite fragile. Horses are just the worst.

I don't suppose you've been to the "Bad With Money" thread over in Business, Finance, and Careers. Quite a bit of that thread is stories of people buying horses without having made the slightest effort to understand what the gently caress they were getting into.
