Oh well, at least a robot cat won’t piss on my stuff.
Kidding aside, exactly.
That alone keeps pets out of old folks homes. Then there’s the allergy thing, general health concerns etc.
If you make something real enough, it won’t matter. People are just as attached to TV shows as they ever could be to a robocat. But we don’t think it odd that people reschedule their lives around the sunday game.
