A video entitled "Roomba Driver" was uploaded to YouTube on November 11, 2008. The 46-second video shows a black and white cat sitting on a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner while the Roomba travels across the floor. Near the end of the video, the cat bats the edge of the Roomba with its paw.YouTube Video: Roomba Driver (Time: 0:46) The cat appears unafraid of the Roomba, unlike most of the cats in the other cat-Roomba videos on YouTube.YouTube: Cat Roomba Videos

A 53-second video uploaded to YouTube on July 7, 2008, takes the "Cat Roomba" idea to a different level. "Kittens Riding Vacuum" features a group of four young felines going for a joyride on the Roomba. One by one, the kittens are thrown off the device as it cleans the floors.YouTube Video: Kittens Riding Vacuum (Time: 0:53)

Manufactured by iRobot, the Roomba is a vacuum cleaning robot designed to navigate its way throughout the owner's house while cleaning the floors. Its low profile allows it to clean under furniture and it automatically avoids stairs and other potentially damaging obstacles. As of 2008, iRobot had manufactured three generations of the Roomba, which range in price from $129-$549.Official Site: iRobot Roomba iRobot makes a similar device called the Scooba, which is designed to clean hardwood, linoleum and tile floors.Official Site: iRobot Scooba
