Related: About this forumAnyone have cats and a Roomba?
Or a similar robotic vacuum? I'm fixing to adopt 2 older cats (12 years old) and I'm wondering if a robotic vacuum will scare them any more than a regular one.

But some cats will be scared, at first.

They don't like it since it makes a lot of noise.
(They also hate my regular vacuum cleaner too.)
So they'll go from one room to the other, away from the Roomba.

Do you still have to have a regular vacuum?

Or under my desk.
The Roomba works quite well, I even named mine, "Rosie."
