Here’s Nutmeg sniffing out Beta, one of the Sunlight Foundation’s Pleos. They’re basically little robotic dinosaur pets, incredible lifelike for the technology: they coo when you pet them, and have a fit if you hand them by their tales. Yes: they’re cats in dinosaur form.

The Nut and Squishy were both intrigued, but never really had a lot of fun. They stared at the Pleo a lot. But, they ventured in for a closer look every once in a while.
