We've been talking about getting a Roomba from iRobot (cat + law school = walking barefoot in our house is an adventure.) I just visited the website and saw this charming product.

"I wonder how little Whatshisname is doing?"
"Don't worry, honey, I sent the robot."
"Thank goodness, I would hate to have to get up off this couch and go find the little shit. Make me another Manhattan, darling."
