    Sure, it’s all fun and games… until someone’s tail gets sucked into the Roomba. 🙂

    I remember seeing a video already of a cat riding a Roomba about a year ago on msn.com….cute.

    More demonstration that cats are the pinnacle of evolution.

    Particularly the one that reclines atop the padded Roomba as it rolls around, like some sort of bloated Turkish despot from the Ottoman Empire.
    Don’t ever let Raedthinn see that video; he lusts for something like that to move him around to warm spots on the sunlit floor as he snoozes the day away. 😀
    BTW, did you ever figure out what was getting him edgy a few weeks back?
