Yes, that was certainly what that was. ---

Ah, good, now I don’t have to look at another ridiculous cat video for another two weeks or so, if I’m lucky. ---

I’m kinda disappointed… I expected the duck to be on the roomba. ---

How could someone make that video and not dub in the music from _Jaws_? ---

Sometimes it appears the duck was chasing the cat in the shark costume riding the Roomba. ---

My problem with it is twofold: Who owns a cat that would willingly wear a shark suit? Who owns a cat that isn’t terrified of a vacuuming device, let alone RIDES on it like a King on a tartan? And looks pissed when the “ride” is over? And allows the duck to strut in front of him once the Roomba ran out of gas? BAD CAT! BAD!!! ---

Also: how does the cat stay on the Roomba when it bumps into things? How does it not bail? And the dog…with a hammerhead shark suit…LOL…I guess I am the only one that thinks this is hysterical… ---

Ha-ha, yeah, I’ve seen that. There must be something in the air because CATS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AFRAID OF THESE THINGS! 🙂 ---

I’m sorry but every time the Roomba bumps into something or otherwise turns in a direction away from the duck I just picture the cat going “damn, AGAIN?”… ---

Just watched it again. The cat’s face, and the duck’s little legs…I can’t even… The dog is icing on the cake. ---

The dog who makes a brief appearance is actually the star of the series. Complete archive should be available here: [Pit Bull Sharky & ( numerous cross-species) Friends](http://www.brothersbychoice.net/blog/animals/texasgirly-1979-comes-clean-about-her-awesome-pets/) Yes, it’s the dog who is named “Sharky”, and not the cat. Kitty must have been jealous of puppy’s cool name, forcing owner to make up by giving Kitty a shark costume. And BTW no animal could possibly be _less_ predatory than Pit Bull Sharky, as you will see from perusing the videos. ---

Huh. So, how much do you think it would cost to get a setup like that installed in my kitchen? And where would I go, Home Depot, or PetSmart, or…? ---
