saffronhare: (Pick Me)

Two of my worst ideas today (so far).

I should not have clicked on woot.com when [livejournal.com profile] agrnmn sent me there. Roombas! WANT. Cannot have.

Also, should not have followed that with a visit to the KCMO House Rabbit Society online, no matter how adorable it was to pet on Belle Friday night. Nope. BAD IDEA.

We love Dobby. (Our Roomba -- not the fanciest one on the market, but it is self-docking) We invested in him a year ago now; such a time saver! And the entertainment value to the cats and various small children that visit...

You are not helping. :)

I was wondering about the entertainment factor for cats. Are they sturdy enough to handle a little kitty rough-housing?

The Denver Trinity has (I believe) two Roombas and four cats of all possible personality types...they seem to get along fine.

So it does pretty well with pet hair, then? That'd be key. If, you know, I ever splurged on such a thing.

Not helping even more...

It's fabulous with pet hair. You have to clean it more than a regular vacuum (duh, it's a small thing), and it has a filter that traps fur. Really great at finding fur you don't see, although I can't speak for dog fur. Two constantly shedding felines though, fabulous.

One of our cats could care less about it; the other had a grand battle of swatting and jumping, but Dobby was obvlivious to any obstacle. Titan now sulks when Dobby comes out because he knows it will do no good to be aggressive.

If you get a bunny, I am SOOO investing in pharmacutical stock. I could actually SEE your eyes go bleary as you snuffled Belle. It was like watching someone with a cutting fetish, only much cuter.

Yay Benadryl!
