Elvis, the Robo-Kitty

[archerships]

Elvis the Cat lost the use of his hind legs in a tragic auto accident. So his owner, Carlo Bertocchinni, built him a mobile robotic platform. Now Elvis the Cat is Elvis, The Robo-Kitty (Quicktime).

While I think the guy is going to have a hard time getting funded to pursue this technology, I am in favor of it. I think that improvement of the well-being of animals is a worthy goal, and while Elvis specifically mostly looked dizzy in the video, something like this could help maintain some quality of life for animals that would otherwise be euthanized.

It kind of seems like just giving him wheels under his back side would be more effective, if his front legs work... His little head sticking out of a box doesn't seem all that great. Still, the idea is a good one.

We all know this is a joke right?
