The Wagging Cat Tail Pillow
Aww, a pillow that looks like a cat, just sitting there all furry and begging to be petted.
What the…! Yes, the entire purpose of this robot pillow is to switch its kitteh-like tail back and forth when you pet it. For, uh, $120.
To be fair, it can twitch in three different ways, depending on where you pet it and how fast, but for $120, I want an ironclad guarantee that if it’s sitting on my keyboard, it’s a legitimate excuse not to get any work done.
If you or a loved one is in urgent need of an animatronic cushion, I spotted this one at the Shinjuku Tokyu Hands.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Okay, granted, there’s no vet or food bill, nor do you have a kitty little to change, but–oh hey! Maybe my cats need to watch their Ps and Qs! LOL!
Ha, you’re right, it DOES have a few advantages, but don’t you think they could have at least made it purr? I mean, for $120….
No Purr! I want my money back! Oh, wait… But it doesn’t have a face either! Maybe for $200 you can get a purr and a furry face! LOL!
I keep looking at cute cat stuff, even here, then have to remind myself that I have that I have the real deal x three here, all willing to be unpredictable and mess with my head. The only real advantage of the pillow version is predictability but what’s fun about that? Regular pillows do that too.
Haha I almost posted about it but I’m too just moving and my dog might be jealous so…
Haha….so weird, so kitschy at least give it a face for $120 lol
I know, right?
