Just when you think its time to play and create havoc while your master or mistress is off enjoying the Hawaiian beaches, along comes a party pooper – the Petcare Robot.

The Mint Robot #2: The Petcare Robot is the latest in bleeding edge technology for remote pet surveillance and interaction. Unfortunately, it looks like a wacky reject dumped by the special-effects team of a Steven Speilberg film.

But I suppose that’s what makes it so interesting to goofy cats and dogs who can smell conspiracy and alien intruders even in a chewy toy.

Not only can you monitor your pets remotely, you can also scare the living daylights out of them by bringing the Petcare Robot to life. Well, see, that’s why it’s called a robot.

The robot can be set to track your pet, and it will roll around behind your pet, following it everywhere and driving your pet batty. You can enjoy the show remotely as your pet goes nuts trying to shake off the persistent stalker.

It even has infra-red LEDs, so you can keep tabs even in the dark. And even worse, those weird-looking googly eyed camera lenses – they can detect if a pet tries to lick or scratch, and they’ll clam shut automatically.

That ball you see at the bottom can be moved around remotely, and you can send it rolling and talk to your pet through the Robot’s remote control  – play recorded sounds, music or your own voice commands.

If the Petcare Robot catches on, you’ll soon be sitting on the white sandy beaches of Hawaii playing with your pet back home, instead of enjoying the oceanview. Please don’t buy this thing and spoil your pet’s one and only chance to enjoy some downtime away from you.
