Cat Meets Second Life Cat (UPDATED)

... in which a cat named Bender spots a fellow feline behind the glass, though it happens to be a virtual neko, and makes a heroic attempt to free her:

The dancing neko is actually Bender's owner, Aallotar Takaaki. So come to think of it, this is a novel new way of cat-to-owner interaction, via avatar.

Update, 8:10PM: Ms. Takaaki remembers Bender here. Shortly after this video, she had to give up Bender to a new home: "I miss his cute bum infront of my screen every time I logged into Second Life and how he always was walking all over my keyboard making strange messages in local chat."

I rarely comment on this site, but why exactly was this posted?

The 2D Internet is mostly filled with 2D pictures of cats doing weird things. It's no surprise then, that a 3D Internet would have a high amount 3D cats doing weird things.

That's about right!

My cat also likes Secondlife. Teaching her english on the keyboard is proving difficult though.

@Bryan: Some of us like it. Not every article on every blog will necessarily interest every reader. Feel free to simply skip over articles that don't interest you.

I know, I know, the mere presence of articles that don't interest you challenges the notion that you're the center of the universe, but once you accept that, you'll no longer be bothered by things like this. :)
