Oh Look, It's Just What I Needed!

IN MY WORST NIGHTMARE.

An automated knitting cat made by Roullet & Decamps, in the early 1900s, found on The Automata Blog. Direct link to post here.

Rest easy, from what I've read about Roullet & Decamps, they cover their cats in leather and rabbit fur. Not... cat.

For added distress enjoyment, a video of an automated cat! And a somehow more disturbing demon from hell cat here.
