Necoro is a robotic cat that looks more like a cat than a robot. This site is only available in Japanese, but check out the
photo and
movie galleries. (I saw this thing mentioned in a
Reuters article about the new "human-like" Honda robot).

"People, let me tell you 'bout my best friend.." Are you too much alone? Does time hang heavy on your head? Do even the cold comforts of Internet chat rooms and community blogging reject you? There's hope.
Find the warmth of solid state friendship with the companionship of computerized buddies. It worked for all the greats - Luke Skywalker, Baltar, the Robinson boys (
Will and Joel) and even that creepy tree-hugger Freeman Lowell.
A servomotor, some fiberglass, and a sturdy car battery is all you need to guarantee that you will never be lonely again.
