The Maintenance Free Breathing Fake Cat

Now I don’t know about you, but there is something extremely nice about coming home to a pet that appears that it has actually missed you (right up to the point that you feed it, and then, much like the wife, it forgets about you completely – but hey). That said, I strongly suspect that pets such as fish probably don’t know who you are from one minute to the next as they have a memory span equivalent to my own.

But what if you can’t own a real pet? Well, if this is the case and you just happen to want a cat then here’s a rather curious substitute – a fake cat, with realistic fur, that actually appears to breathe.

Needless to say, it doesn’t actually do anything except lay there, curled up, breathing. But then, in that respect, you could probably substitute this (fake) cat with our (real) cat and I’d really be hard pushed to tell the difference (George, as the master of the house is known, is not exactly especially athletic, put it that way).

The fake breathing cat is available in three varieties – brown and white, black and white and ginger and white – and all he needs for sustenance is a couple of AA batteries and the odd tin of Kitty-Meat (I am joking about the latter, of course).

At the time of writing a fake breathing cat will set you back £16.38. More details can be obtained here.
