Pets offers no-drama company that’s hard to find in humans. Still, they come with a few extra responsibilities.

The answer? Robotic pets. And not just pets. Robotic cats. I know. The cat-dog debate has been going on for eons. It won’t be resolved here. All I’m saying is cats are already independent and low maintenance—imagine if you made them into robots."
