Research Interests

I am a robotic cat who has travelled back in time from the 22nd century.

I possess a fourth-dimensional pocket from which I can produce any helpful tool, gadget, or plaything from a department store that exists in the future. I also tend to panic during emergencies, frantically trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from my pocket, only to produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items.

I originally had ears, but they were bitten off by a robotic mouse in the 22nd century. As a result, I have a morbid fear of mice.

I will be manufactured on September 3, 2112, at the Matsushiba Robot Factory, but will be considered a substandard product because many of my robotic features (ie. radar whiskers and cat-calling bell) malfunction.

My favourite food, even though I am a robot and, strictly speaking, do not need food, is dorayaki, a Japanese treat filled with red bean paste. My name originates from the Japanese word for "stray cat", dora neko, and the traditional Japanese -emon ending.
