Technicats are the next step in pet ownership; both a biological and technological marvel, these pets are quickly stealing the hearts of the nation and becoming one of the most popular pets of all time. Their body looks like that of a standard household cat, while their head is a screen. All of the wiring and machine parts are hidden from view, and they're so lifelike you won't believe that they're not a real cat. Still soft, warm, and eager for a cuddle, while being so much more durable and lasting for years - what's not to love?
We've included a list of a Technicat's best and unique features, which include;
• Screen Head: easily their most identifiable feature, Technicat's do not posses the head of a regular cat, but instead a hardy screen. Most come in a standard shape and size, though a rare few do come with a customized screen head shape. These screens come in three types; blank, simple, and expressive. Blank screens are exactly as told; blank. Simple screens have some sort of icon or symbol. Expressive screens are a little harder to come by, but they do give your Technicat a bit more personality. With an expressive screen a Technicat can, as you'd expect, show different kinds of expression depending on their emotions. This makes it much easier to know how they're feeling. The screens themselves either have a glossy finish or a static overlay, the latter of which is also shown on their paw pads.
• Static Whiskers: surely you know we couldn't make a cat without whiskers - and these ones are a lot more fun! They're made of static energy, which manifests itself into the shape of feline whiskers of many different shapes and lengths. Most of the time these are harmless, and tickle if you brush against them. Be warned; an aggravated Technicat may just use them to give you a shock.
• Two Tail Variations: both have their pros and cons, so choose wisely! Technicat's who have 'biological' cat tails - that is, to say, a tail that resembles that of an actual cat - are solar powered, and soak up the sun through their fur. They cannot, however, be plugged in to charge, so may be more sleepy on cloudy days to conserve energy. Technicat's with socket tails can be plugged in to charge up - plug them in, and after a good sleep, they'll be ready to go! They are not, however, solar powered. This means that if your power goes out and your Technicat runs out of charge, they will fall asleep until you are able to plug them in again.
