Garbage Cat

Will Herring’s cat wakes him up at 3AM every day because he wants to be fed. Anyone who has a cat can relate. Herring used that experience as inspiration for the game Garbage Cat. In this game, you are the cat. You can climb on your human and miaow, and even knead him or jump up and down on him. But that doesn’t wake him up.

The way to win the game is to jump on the furniture and knock everything off the shelves. Make it all crash loudly onto the floor. That should do the trick! Yeah, it did, but it wasn’t easy. -via Metafilter

Neat concept, but confusing purpose. I know there's a lot of vending machines to blend in with, but wouldn't it be better to just run than to stand around setting that up?

Heh heh heh, I heard about this on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" a few weeks back. It's a serious invention, MikeG, made for easily frightened women (the inventor invented it for herself first). The Japanese are just weird.

I too heard this on Wait Wait, and simultaneously could and could not believe it. I liked the remark, "supposedly a would-be attacker would walk right by and not notice her... unless he was thirsty."

Yeah, I could've sworn I've this on Neatorama before. Or maybe it was mental_floss...

Either way, I guess inventions like this will have to do 'till we can invent invisibility cloaks.

If a woman can temporarily out-distance a mugger while wearing that skirt, and still have time to find a place to stand and set herself up as a faux soda machine, why even bother with this?

"While British women might prefer to take self-defence classes, Ms Tsukioka said: "It is just easier for Japanese to hide. Making a scene would be too embarrassing."

Wow.

@Katey: Yeah, running for your life is embarrassing! If I don't have a giant cola costume at hand, I just break into an interpretive tree dance and then start squawking out Morse code for "Help, Police" like a deranged parrot. Embarrassment crisis averted.
