Okay, so I started this post a few weeks back. This is what I wrote then: This is hilarious. It's new way to exercise the kitty. As a result of watching this video, I bought a Roomba online. I recently adopted a Maine coon (purebred) 5.5 yo female from a rescue shelter. She emerges from under the bed wearing dust bunnies. And, I want to make sure she gets enough exercise (indoor cat). The Roomba has yet to arrive, but I'm hoping it will help on both accounts... Direct link is here (3:15) I mentioned in a post about cat brushes- Will cat brushes become my new obsession? that I'd give an update on the Roomba project. There were some questions and opinions in the comment section. Marion in Savannah: Should I get one? Is it too good to be true? I can't give an authoritative answer to that- but I will reprise my comments and those of another Human (karen marie), edited a bit for clarity, with extra comments. We seem to have similar opinions and experience. First...

I'm well on the way, although I have acquired only five so far. So, Tootie did not like Teh Awesome Equine Cat Brush. And, I had driven miles across CT to find one for her (CT was site of previous purchase). Sigh. As my mother would say "well, that's the cat in her". Tootsie the Maine coon does not like ANY of the five cat brushes I've purchased. Actually, I've had greater success grooming her with my grandmother's rhinestone hair comb. That said, the Human in the household (that would be me) loves this purchase (to the right). I found it in the pet aisle at Publix. I thought, heck, what's another cat brush? I'll give it a try. My oh my! It takes the kitty hairs (and other random stuff) off clothing in a way that puts to shame that weird plastic item with the red velveteen brush surface. I used it to brush off a pair of gray wool slacks (part of my teaching uniform). They look brand new. Can't wait to try it on the car! For the money, ...

A while back, there was a kitteh roomba YouTube sensation here . Right. Over 3 million views! But, an enterprising YouTuber has edited it, and added great Herbie Hancock music. I love the new version! It's so much more fun to watch. Direct link is here . (1:25) p.s. clever YouTube commenter pinkroses353 says: "And if you call now, you get the extra tail sweeper attachment at no extra charge! ha ha" lol

Mostly, it's funny when cats do silly things. But sometimes, it's funny when they just don't get involved in human silliness! Human says in YT caption: We bought a Roomba. We have three Maine Coons. I couldn't wait. So, were they impressed? You judge: If you want the direct YT link, it's here. Click on a label below or on list at right for more posts.
