This is just a cool little video i came across today, it's pretty cool! The cat lost it's rear legs so they built a robot for it to get around!




I must make one for my own cats, even though they have all of their legs, because this is so cool!

And i just love how he keeps spinning in circles sometimes!

One word.

Sledgehammer.



However, this is a pretty cool idea and one I agree that should be developed further to be able to help pets even further.

What does that mean?

But i do agree with you, this should be developed as it would greatly help cats. Sometimes for fun i pick up my cat and take them wherever they look, and sometimes they do navigate to places like their food etc at which point they then hop out of my arms to eat in that particular case. I think there is some potential with head control! Maybe they use their paw to control the speed and their head to steer! Haha just a thought

I'm assuming it means: break the cat's legs with the sledgehammer.

It's a cool concept (the box, not breaking the cat's legs with a sledgehammer) but it looks really stupid. Kind of looks like gluing a cat head to a box.


Be yourself, but make sure you don't sound like a dying sheep.

You want to make a robot for your cat, but remarked it still has its legs. *

My comment was meant to be a solution. Cat - Legs = Catcar.




*In a totally non-serious manner of course.

I thought you were proposing a trade!

How does the cat eat? Or clean itself? Or do the bad thing or the smelly thing?

Hahah that actually makes a bunch of sense! Haha yah, ill take a car for a cat! Jk, i love cats very much and i treat my own as family members!

But yah, i agree, how does it eat poop sleep or do any of that?

There is one game i play, it has perfect looking raycasting and is rendered at a very high FPS real time. This game i find very fun. What is this game? This game is life on earth.
