The 'Kittyo' Allows You to Remotely Play and Interact with Your Cat
Rahul Kalvapalle — April 23, 2014 — Lifestyle
Kittyo is a toy that lets you remotely play with your cat. The device features a laser, a camera, a speaker and a treat dispenser. The cat's owner can control the laser via their smartphone's touchscreen, allowing them to enjoy direct interaction with their pet.
The owner can use the Kittyo's microphone to get their cat's attention, and can see their cat chasing the laser on their smartphone's display. Once playtime is over, the treat dispenser can be operated to deliver a tasty treat to the cat.
While there are other electronic pet companions on the market, the Kittyo is one of the unique few that allow their owners to interact with their pets in real-time.
Kitty's developers are currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. People interested in pre-ordering a Kittyo for delivery in July can do so for a minimum pledge of $99.
