Does this seem mean? I'm not sure.
The cat lost it's use of it's back legs. :(

Anyway. Tell me what you think

That has to be the most amazing this I have ever seen. I think it is an excellent idea for a paralized cat. I love it.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Wow, that is amazing. How does it work???? :p

The cat doesn't seem distressed in the least. I think it's great when people use their brainpower to help pets.

[Tux&Oreo]

I felt sad that it lost it's legs.. oh well..

by what the man said I am guessing the cats two front feet control it.

What a BRILLIANT IDEA! I'm posting this at handicapped pets! Thanks!!

This is the cruelest thing I have ever seen. The cat has no control. Also read the comments below the vid.

There are already carts in use that give the cat or dog more mobility.

AND Dignity.

I wouldn't call it cruel, although it wouldn't be my first choice for a paraplegic or bipod critter. However, it's GREAT for a quad, such as a neck injury, end-stage DM, etc.

ps--I read all the comments and didn't see much illuminating besides meanness, bad spelling, worse misinformation, and tons of cussing. Did you mean any in specific?

I agree with critters. Although how does the cat eat? He/she is in a box and can't bend it's neck. Does the human control it by remote control because cats don't spin around like that by themsleves.

These first two sites show the video and the creators

battlebots team biozard profile (http://www.battlebots.com/meet_the_robots3/meet_team_profile.asp?id=26)

team biohazard's own site (http://www.robotbooks.com/team-biohazard.htm)

These next three show the vid as a hoax.

Hoax 2 (http://www.sfist.com/archives/2005/08/16/mobility_device_for_disabled_cats_or_hoax.php)

hoax 3 (http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/15/partially_paralyzed_.html)

Unfortunately the site all these others are referencing is undergoing a major overhaul and is inaccessible.

Look at the cat. He's just along for the ride. Cats are not good actors unless there is something in it for them. I didn't need the hoax sites to know that this is a hoax. This is cruel. I'm sure the creators treat their cat well otherwise and love their animal. That is one patient cat. I just could never do that to my cat or pther pet.

One blog stated the cruelty was to animal lovers. There are better carts and mobile devices for the animals.
