The comments say there’s a heating pad in it. So the “legs” are just decoration for the humans.
Finally, a human distilled down to its functional parts.
Careful, one of those, an automatic feeder, and maybe one of those brushes that you screw in to a wall, and you could be replaced.
You’ll need one of those self-cleaning litter boxes as well.
och right. cannot forget that.
Obviously a leg man.
A friend’s cat likes to rest on his clothing and shoes – possibly attracted to and calmed by the odor of his favorite human in the house. Perhaps that’s what’s getting lap-cat onto the fake lap?
lap, but no petting? poor kitty : (
Yeah, this is where my attempt at this failed. Fake lap without scritches and belly rubs was quickly abandoned in favor of yowling for the real thing.
Sweet Sweet Little Inky is quick to sit on any new thing brought into the house. Boxes, bags, coats, shoes etc… A fake lap? Why not? It’s new!!!
Teach the cat how to use and flush the loo.
Wait - on second thoughts, maybe not. Planned obsolescence isn’t generally a good thing.
automated petting would have to be implemented carefully…
Put one of those Qoobo robot cats in its lap, then everyone can take the afternoon off!

Being calico, probably a leg woman.
