Enter the I-Cat, I-Dog Pup, and black/pink I-Dog

by Ryan Block, posted Feb 10th 2006 at 11:31AM

Feline fanciers need fret no more about their ability to get an I-pet in the animalia family of their choice, today Tiger Electronics announced the I-Cat, probably in occasion of the American International Toy Fair going down. We know the I-Cat and its newly announced friends -- including the I-Pup (which sits in front of speakers instead of getting line-in), black and pink I-Dogs, and I-Dog Chill set -- may be slightly more palatable to the American toy audience than the I-Fish, but we have to admit that we were a little bummed when the little guppy wasn't announced. Expect kitty and puppy this fall for $30 and $15, respectively, and the new I-Dog colors this spring for $30.

These look a bit like the forest spirits in Princess Mononoke. The eyes don't look very natural. Cute, but alien. I wonder why the Japanese like to create designs like this?

Am I the only one who finds this "cat" to be really creepy? It doesn't have a face!

Finally! A cat version! :D

The eyes are a bit odd, but it would be cute to have several iCat and iDogs sitting around.

Huh, I wonder if the iDog and iCat get along? They need to work on an iMouse, and maybe we can get an iTom & iJerry thing going on.

I have an iDOG and at first it was wickedly sick. But now it's completely crappy. After a few months the sound started crackling and the lights would screw up. Now I can't even turn it on! I bought more and more new batteries and put them in, they're the right type and everything! But still, absolutely nothing would make it turn on.
