Besides, Are We Sure REAL Cats Aren't Robots?
-
Seniors with dementia often respond well to pets. Some senior centers are taking that a step... further? Weirder? However you define it, they're using robotic cats made by Hasbro to be service pets for patients with dementia, and it's nice that the seniors are responding but are they saying that those with dementia can't tell the difference? Maybe not- one of the patients in the article keeps calling the robot cat a pooch, but then again, one of the workers at a center in the article says that even the patients who know the cats are robots like them anyway. Either way, it's cool that it helps. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
