Azrobot

An Azrobot is a robot in the form of a typical house cat that was created by Garfield Melthorne's Research and Development division in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It pretty much behaves like a house cat, except that it doesn't just lay about or take its ease like regular house cats. Rather, they are always on the prowl, looking for intruders and attacking anything regardless of its size. The Azrobot was originally developed by Steve Scruepenheim as a replacement for regular house cats, but because errors in its AI programming made it more vicious and less friendly to potential cat owners, the Azrobot was relegated to mostly guarding the research facility of Melthorne's company.
