Why it matters
The EBO SE is a small robot you drive from the app to find your cat in any room, including under furniture. It streams 1080p with night vision and has two-way audio.
When its battery runs low, it drives itself back to the charging dock. Some cats enjoy chasing it; others may be wary at first.
