Wifi Cat is the world’s first WiFi repeater integrated into a cat collar. It uses patent pending energy harvesting, the cat's movement recharges battery the battery. It spread's WiFi throughout your home and enable you to track your cat using your browser in real time.

That could make sense if cats weren't the type of pets who absolutely need to be on your lap when you're trying to use your laptop. Not a good location for a repeater.

I know it's a joke - but how would that work anyway? You can't track something via WiFi - WiFi antennas provide no directional information (angle) so you can't triangulate, and I really doubt it's accurate enough to locate it by measuring distance via the speed of light.

A good joke should be realistic, well at least if it's directed at engineers.

It spreads WiFi throughout your neighbourhood - as long as they mesh network enable it.

Assuming it existed, that is.

They picked one hell of a lazy animal. I doubt most cats move enough to charge the battery...

I smell a rat, not a cat :)
