Bandai is releasing an inexplicable fake cat-paw toy, with claws. Furries, start your engines:
Bandai is releasing the "Neko Nyanbou" in Japan sometime in April. So what is it? Well, these are fake cat paws with claws that can be controlled by a small switch hidden in the "handle". Why on earth would you use these? To scratch your back, to scare a colleague or just as an extension of your arm…
(Thanks, Alice!)
Update: Ben sez, "This product called 'nekonyanbo' (literally 'cat meow stick') was a fad
toy originally
released in the 1980's, apparently following the literally phenomenal
popularity of the
'What's Michael?' cat manga by Makoto Kobayashi."
