Since the beginning of time, man has sought to dominate the creatures of the wild, while children have tried their hardest to squish out their fuzziness. Owning a real animal requires time, patience and frequent carpet cleanings; while for the low price of $2.99 on Google Play and iOS and little heavy lifting, Microsoft Studios brings you an adorable (virtual) wild animal of your very own.
Cats and kittens are the fuel that keeps the Internet muttering “Aww,” and flooding every social media channel available with adorable, fluffy overload until Cute Induced Cardiac Arrest is the inevitable result. Everything is better with cats. The Earth itself knows this, as it allowed a huge rock to kill off all those ugly, scaly dinosaurs just to make way for cats. Unfortunately, it’s logistically impossible for cats to be everywhere, but that doesn’t mean we have to live with this situation. For example, when we get our hands on Unity in November, Arno and his band of Assassins will be stupid, regular old humans.

The cat wasn't even looking at the TV.
Wow, how frigging stupid can people get.
Whoever filmed this is an idiot.
Whoever believes the cat was actually looking at the TV and "interacting" with the kinectimal (instead of a string) is an even bigger idiot.
That cat is sooo cute :) I would rather buy a new kitty then to buy kinect with kinectimals...For everyone who wants to buy kinectimals: Save a life and buy a real kitty from the pound/shelter. Nothing beats a living breathing creature who loves you and needs you. Why waste your time pretending when you can save a life and have the real thing.
This is fucking adorable.
