“'Casablanca' has remained my favourite. I find it to be the perfect story of courage, character, sacrifice, intrigue and unrequited love.”

A successor to the existing Qoobo robot cat, Petit Qoobo is a circular furry cushion with a tail and nothing more. It is designed for seniors in nursing homes or for people who want to own a pet but can’t do so because of pet allergies. When caressed, the therapeutic robot waves gently. When rubbed, it swings playfully. And it occasionally wags just to say hello. It’s a comforting communication, which, the company says, warms your heart the way animals do.
