Meow that's amazing!

Taylor Veltrop uses a Nao robot, a Kinect sensor bar, two Wii remotes, a head-mounted display, a treadmill and a calm cat to create a video with serious viral potential.

In the video above, Veltrop's robot walks up to a cat, grabs a brush, starts grooming then waves goodbye to its new feline friend as he leaves. Save for an inadvertent bonk on the noggin, the cat seems to enjoy -- or at least tolerate -- the whole experience.

Digital Trends notes that the video "offers some consolation that our pets will be well taken care of when the machine revolution arrives."

As the site explains, Veltrop "sees through the robot’s eyes using the head-mounted display, and moves the robot around using the treadmill and the motion-sensing abilities of the Kinect."
