robot cat

Artificial pet companion

A robot cat is a mechanical or electronic device designed to simulate a cat, ranging from simple motorized toys to sophisticated companions with artificial intelligence.

Some are children's playthings; others serve as therapeutic aids for elderly or isolated people who want pet-like interaction without the responsibilities of a living animal: The nursing home introduced robot cats for residents with dementia.
