Pets can be a comfort and a joy, but they also require a great deal of care. If allergies or a busy lifestyle keep you from owning a real cat you can still enjoy the company of a caring companion – the Dream Cat Venus.
Venus is a life-sized interactive cat – she can respond to your voice and touch with soothing purrs, meows and gestures. And virtual pets are more than just a plush, purring novelty – a study by Tohoku University showed that playing with robotic pets stimulates the prefrontal cortex much like a brain-training game. This kind of stimulation helps slow brain aging and makes Venus the perfect gift for older relatives or friends in nursing homes.
