Hi Vanessa, it's the most marvellous invention. You can program it in to come on when you are out or on holiday or whenever you want. It is so quiet and the cats are not scared at all. When it is finished cleaning it goes into it's docking area by itself and re-charges ready for next time. It is called a iRobot Roomba. It picks up all the cat hair, lots more than a conventional vacuum....
Bruno loves the new robot vacuum cleaner. Bruno says..."It's the best thing ever, so cat friendly and it sometimes speaks to me if it gets stuck"... None of them are even the least bit worried when it is working and it removes all the pet hair from the floor. They were all terrified when the other cleaner was put on even it they were in another room.
