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.

A cat riding a roomba? Reminds me of Achewood's Roomba Theater:

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.
