aight what is this: cushion used for therapeutic purposes, tail wags, and electronic innards of the cushion produces a heart beat.
The tail itself has different modes, slowly when pet gently, waving when pet with more force, and will also wave randomly- just to say 'oh hi'
I became obsessed with this thing after the passing of my childhood pet, she was attached to my front(her favourite spot, i'd hold her like a baby lol) and wanted to kinda fill the void...
There are multiple pet-like companions, but this one got by the uncanny value. By not trying to replicate the looks of a cat or dog.
It had a kickstarter that started in March of 2017, and seems to be still selling today. Not only that but I've found two different versions:
the smaller with a nub tail, Petit Qoobo(released about 2 years after in 2019),
And even a disney licensed one after the cat Marie from the Aristrocats(two year-ish after, 2021),
They're pretty expensive, around 300$ usd(though I couldn't find an official listing for it NA side) and the petit being around 150 usd.
I would love to own one to do a more in-depth look at it, to see if it effects me day to day.

Fun fact: the company behind it, Yukai Engineering, is the same one behind the telekinetic cat eyes 'Nekomimi'. The ones that would sense you mood to move the ears to match! (I had no idea lol, i was like ' yeah makes sense')
