Not much we can do if they use cute kittens.

Sorry but are you trying to tell me that that cat is purposely spinning round and round in circles? Poor thing. Cats chase animals, birds, butterflies, mouses. They jump on fences to get away from dogs, they poo in your garden. What kind of life does that cat have :(

I'm gonna have nightmares about cyborg cats hunting me down and turning right.

Neat! Now let's try connecting it directly to the cat's brain and make it a tank.

Well, it's a not a very dignified contraption, and if adult cats are about anything, it's about dignity (theirs, not yours).

Didn't that guy say that only the cat's rear legs were damaged? I saw a dog on TV that had lost it's legs - they just strapped it back half into a mini wheelchair and it pulled itself along with its front legs.

I've always wanted to see a tank that chases string. :)

Ya, why couldn't they just stick the cat in one of those things?

Now if we could just solve the recoil problem with that 72 mm main gun...

Or trying to catch the reflection from a watch on the wall.

EDIT: Kind of reminded me of Admiral Pike, by the way.

"Go straight now, try to go straight! See, he always wants to turn right, he wants to turn right."

Some bugs left in the system then...still, how cool is that? What a cute cat - all it needs is a laser sight and an unbreakable devotion to its collective.

Yeah, I don't get this. Which cat would want to be stuck inside this thing the whole day? And, alternatively, how do they decide when to put her in there and when to take her out?
"Hey, kittie looks like it would like to go whirring around"? The hell?

I mean, cats sleep almost all day. Does it have to sleep in there? o.O

Good point. Rather like those cutesy clothing outfits you see advertised, as if your dog was going to put up with wearing a Santa Claus outfit for more than three seconds. And try it on a non-paralyzed cat, but only if you enjoy bleeding.

Still, something to help out our Overlords if they've been injured is a good thing.

First thought that crossed my mind: Why didn't he put tracks underneath it?

Hey, he might even add AA guns for hunting birds, too! :D

Now, while I have seen something similar for dogs to drag their paralized hind legs to ensure their mobility, that cat thing is new. I bet, once the cat gets hang of things and knows how to steer but right, it should be okay!

It's built-in?

I believe it's only the prototype. I mean, a yellow cardboard box doesn't even look anything close to cool!
