This revolutionary new toy, which was created with the help of the University of Tokyo, comes all pimped out with a camera, an acceleration sensor and a GPS, which monitors kitty's every move, translating actions like walking, eating and sleeping into tweets. Sadly, there are only 11 fixed phrases currently available (I'm guessing, "I left a lovely hairball in your sneaker" is not among them), but Sony CSL is hoping to improve Fluffy's conversational skills soon.
The device fits easily onto the cat's collar, so as to avoid hindering its movement, which means your cat can tweet all over the neighborhood.
We've seen an influx of novel Twitter functions of late: tweeting trees, tweeting beds and even tweeting cows. While the tech may seem kind of, well, silly, we could see it being of use to people besides lonely cat ladies. For instance, such a collar could be exceedingly useful for zoologists and the like.
What do you think of the tweeting cat collar? Genius or cat-astrophically ridiculous?
