Security drone, very expensive cat toy, what's the diff?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Aside from cost - as you noted - the amount of damage that can be done to the house before the cat kills the drone. (I'm not sure what catnip mice are going for these days, being catless, but I'm sure the drone will be more expensive.)

My #1 question is if the drone is powerful enough to still fly around if I put it in a little ghost costume.

I saw an article some time ago about a man whose neighbor bought a drone and used it to buzz the man's dog. Got so bad, the dog had to go on anti-anxiety medications - yes, the man had asked the neighbor to not do that, but, well, there are jerks all over. Until one day the dog caught the drone and destroyed it. Neighbor wanted the man to pay for a new drone ... I believe he actually took it to court. And lost.

Cute panda.
I imagine that there are some, um, kinks to be worked out.
Ha! And also...

Didn't realize how many of these types of things there were until we got our kitties.

I missed Atropa's comment and I'm sitting here laughing at the idea of a small drone in a tiny ghost outfit (basic sheet style or, knowing her, something with ruffles and stripes) flying around the house.

This is a very important question and we need answers! (ooh, little witches on broomsticks!)

Basic sheet style or layers of cheesecloth soaked in glow-in-the-dark paint, because I am a classicist.

In completely other news, someone here linked to a story on Ask a Manager; I've been visiting the site, sympathizing with those whose work situations are worse than mine. One of the pages had a link to a story about a warehouse that was being plagued with a serial defecator - kept finding piles of, um, poop around the place. They reached the point where they did DNA tests to try to find out who it was. In the comments, there was discussion of how they knew it was human poop, some suggesting that the culprit had shaped the poop to confuse the issue, leading to my nominee for the comment of the day: "Pretty sure poop-bending isn't a thing."
