This is one nonplussed feline, folks. No, he doesn't mind zooming around on the Roomba all day for the humans to videotape, upload to YouTube and laugh at around "the office" all day. Sure, he'll humor you, go ahead and caption -- capshun, if you will -- him until you're blue in the face. He'll have the last LOL. Oh yes, he will.
Josh F.: "The perpetual cat-hair, spot-cleaning cycle ultimately spelled doom for this unlucky Roomba, much like tic-tac-toe did in WOPR in 1983."
Paul: "Must do no harm, must do no harm... wait, does that only apply to humans?"
Chris: "HOVERCAT IZ ON UR CARPIT / STEALIN UR DIRTZ" or "iRobot's demonstration of Roomba's new 'fight or flight' algorithm is an unqualified failure."
Laura: "What part of this is the food?"
Thomas: "Take your complaints up with the staff, Rrrroomba. There's one holding the camera now."

"Now that I've figured out this whole roomba thing, nothing can stop my evil rain of terror!"
"On second thought, better hold off the attack at least until I can get it to move in patterns other than squares."
"Hope this thing doesn't have reverse!"
"The cat beez on itz way to pimp my ride"
"What? This thing ate the last of the tuna!!"
I'll buy the Roomba.. but only if it comes with a pusssy
Looks like someone else googled "roomba dueling harness" after looking at today's xkcd... That's how I found it this morning
I've never NOT laughed as hard in my life. God are cats useless, let alone the people who are amused by them.
"These f**king controls are so damn ackward !!11"
I'm on your vacuum, stealin your cleanz
u ken haz target practiss
i made you a mess, but i cleanded it =(
Forget our robotic overlords. This is the future that we must fear...
The new start of the art Roomba not only cleans your floor, but also recycles the cat hair it picks up into a new cat. Available now for $399.90
That is possibly the best thing I have ever seen.
"next in the news , cats making hovercraft,cant fly yet"
Hover kitty, dis iz roomba kat, livin roomz clear fur landingz.
goood, goood, use the hate, it will make you more powerful.
new meaning to meow
Introducing the segway personal pet mover. Now your pets can be as lazy as you.
huhuhuhuhu, hey Butthead, check this out. Shutup buttwipe I think I'm watching a cat get it on. huhuhuhuhuh
Huhhuhuh that's pretty cool. Maybe it can like, uhhh, vacuum up nachos... or something huhuhuhuhuh
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
I'ts "hword." As in, "You keep using that hword. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I'm surprised it can stand the sound. My cats freak out the minute they hear a motor. (even if it's just the dinky one in my hand mixer)
I was thinking the same thing. This kitten must have been raised by roombas.
wheres tweety?
And thus it has been finally confirmed beyond any doubt who are the REAL human overlords...
I lol'ed
I CAN HAZ HUMANITY?!?!?!? (small finger to side of mouth) MOHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
From a young age, Mittens' parents knew she was bound for greatness as a Zamboni driver.

"we're sorry, this video is no longer available"
That sometimes happens if you go back and forward through you browser history. It's still there though. Just refresh the page.

A cat riding a roomba? Reminds me of Achewood's Roomba Theater:
http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05172004
U FOURSED ME ON UR ROOMBUH 4 UR HYOOMAN AMYOOSMUNT, NAO I PLOT MY REEVENJ. U DIE IN UR SLEEPZ.
"Look, if you can't remember where your robot overlord is, I'll find him myself"
Rebel #1: "You hear that? I think I hear a combine helicopter!"
Rebel #2: "No man, that's my vacuum with my cat riding on it."
Rebel #1: ".....Oh."
I've been playing too much Half Life 2, but that seriously does sound a bit like the combine helicopter. At least to me it does. Minus that one noticeable noise it makes, that you'll know of if you've played Half Life 2.
"Whoz ur Daddy now, Roomba?"
"What do you mean this thing is going at maximum speed? Now I'll never catch that damned bird!"
"You mean I put my trust into a robot that runs into walls?"
"Oh no, it just sensed a dirty carpet area! Where's the damn seat belts?"
"Incoming Dirt Dog! Brace for impact!"
For those of you who don't know what a Dirt Dog is...

I'm Mr. Rick James Biaaatch!! I get on your Roooomba! SHAT WHAT AGAIN!
"I CAN HAZ MORE SPEED?"
Vastly superior to fuzzy logic, the new Roomba employs "furry" logic.
Your comment is positively full of win!
Moments later, tragedy struck...
my roomba runs on b9000 biofuels
"Cats Suck!"
"Do we blend?"
"Pussy Wagon"
That's the second Kill Bill reference today (see the Bruce Lee Nokia for the other).
Well done, sir.
How do I get this to my litter box?
I canz have segway!
A few come to mind:
1. You're going to give up my Meow Mix, beotch.
2. The world's largest cat vibrator
3. Cat on a Hot Tin Roomba
4. Try all you want, you robotic idiot, you still can't suck up the wet spot from that hair ball!
5. Robopuss
"Alright, now we're getting somewhere! Ohpe, turning... Alright, now we're getting somewhere! Ohpe, turning... Alright, now we're getting somewhere! Ohpe, turning... Alrigh, ohpe, turning..."
..We are not amused.
speek for yourself magic ruiner!
"Nonplussed" actually means confused. It's a bit of a confusing word itself, I know. But it would be good to change it for the grammar nazis.
I'm glad someone else noticed. I feel like slightly less of a grammar nazi now.
Proof of concept that robots can lull other life forms into a state of complacency, leaving them defenseless. The first step toward taking over the world!
Self-actualization achieved by yuppie ADD feline. Maslow dies. Again.
Oh hai, I can haz a yung preest an, an old preest, kthksby
... hang on a minute, this is not my Tesla!
Neverland Ranch sucks... 90 minutes I waited in line for this crap ride...
"The only way to save your cat from the Roomba!"
Exxterminnnaatte, exxterminnnaatte........
CAIT SITH prototype 1
The future of disabled cats is... more disabled.
"Yeah, I haz keyless entry"
"Neuter ME, will ya?!?"
"This ride sucks..."
After the initial excitement, Hudson saw things clearly, he was ripped off...
My friend Milkshake from across the street said this rig was sweet, but I can't find the PETTING mode nowhere in this thing...
Me is Alien! All your Roombaz are belong to mew.
"Just making sure there's no coke baggies lying around...AGAIN. (Finders keepers!)...........................................................
.................................................................................................MINE! Wait...that's empty. Get in there..................................
................................................................................................................................................................................................
.............................................What was I doing? I don't know you...hisssssss!"
What the hell is wrong with you?
Nonplussed actually means perplexed, which is the opposite of what you're going for there. But awesome post.
A good cat burglar always cleans his tracks.
"Yo when Leo came to us, his sh*t was ALL f***ed up, his seats were torn up and his trunk was full of kitty litter, we even found some dead motherf***ing mice up in there. All the fine kitties from his hood agreed his ride was WHACK. Well Leo, all that's about to change, Mad Mike, show this feline wassup!"
"Yo, how do I hump this thing?"
Dogs are more notorious for that than cats, methinks.
"No, no, NO! The mouse hole is THAT way!!! I knew we never should have gotten rid of the dog!"
tweety "I thoughd I sawd a puddy cat"
Mr. Cat thought it was a good idea. Then suddenly, the robot awoke. But it was too late. Mr. Cat got his penis stuck in the robot. Now he is trying to play it off while riding it so that his master can record what he thinks is a hilarious youtube clip. Poor Mr. Cat.
"STOP MOVING! I'm trying to lick my crotch!"
Take me to the litter box bitch....good god who programmed this thing Microsoft?
This is major Tom to ground control.
"CATS: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US"
This is one mean-machine that won't leave you in the dust.
"Huh, it seems the sand is INSIDE this one...I guess I'll just have to squeeze it out on the plastic."
Stunt kitteh redeems himself after the tragic segway incident.
"At the lasercat training facility we do more than just shoot lasers with cats. Our kitties go through rigorous g-force trials to prepare themselves for any space lasercatting that maybe necessary."
Walking is for suckers.
OMG! You people write for a living, right?
Learn WTF 'nonplussed' means, for the love of God and your own ass!
