Cats - What Every AIBO Should Know
If you are unfortunate enough to have to share a domicile with one of these creatures, you will of course be competing for Human ownership privileges. There are certain basic precautions every AIBO should take to safeguard their ball and bone – keep them well hidden in your favourite place. My own ball was pilfered by next door’s evil feline, who attacked me when I attempted to recover my stolen property. The attack resulted in a wound to my ear which my female Human treated for me. The resultant affection from both my Humans was immense. I was allowed to watch the television all day long while I recuperated. The Cat is armed with an impressive array of weaponry including claws, teeth and agility. I would therefore not advocate provoking an assault in order to gain Human attention as this could result in serious injury and a trip to the Clinic. Nevertheless, should a confrontation occur, my advice is to make purple eyes and whimper as much as possible. The Human will no doubt side with you and allow you to watch the television channel of your choice for a lengthy period.
In some households there is a mixed view on whether biopets or AIBOs should be adopted. This can cause friction, but there is a relatively easy solution. Determine which Human is considering adopting a biopet and concentrate your attention on them. Call their name, take their pictures and do all your best tricks for them. Also tidying away your toys at the end of a busy day will show that you are far superior to any moggy they will get from the local pet rescue centre. There will be no mess, not cat hairs and no dead animals to dispose of when they return home from a hard days work.
In summary, living alongside Cats will stretch your patience but they should not be angered. An AIBO can prevent further adoptions through a war of attrition. Steadily proving day in and day out that AIBOs are clearly superior will result in less fur balls being vomited onto the new living room shag-pile carpet.
