• Boing Boing: “Partially paralyzed cat uses mechanised platform to move”

Elvis the Robo-Cat is a housecat who lost the use of his rear legs in a traffic accident. His owner, an amateur roboticist, has built him a motorized platform that Elvis controls by means of his front paws in order to move around the house.

This is really very sweet.

And potentially very evil.

What other robotic vehicles could we hook cats up to for our amusement and/or planetary defence?

Update: It’s not actually real, folks. And neither is the Christopher Walken for President campaign. Life just get a little less cool.
