We have talked about vacuums here, including the Roomba. So I thought I'd share our little adventure.
My older son came to visit for a week (left Saturday) and while he was here, I walked past the Roomba docking station one day and noticed that Bianca, my Roomba that the aforementioned son gifted me for my birthday on his last visit, was missing! Empty docking station!
I knew that at least one of the cats, plus another on at least one occasion, has pushed the start button, so I suspected that some curious feline had started up the Roomba sometime during the night. I wasn't sure which night, but figured it was fairly recent. I looked all around, but found no sign of little Bianca. *sigh* *sob*
I mentioned it to my son later, and he went hunting. He found her! In a different room, but I had not turned on the towers that confined her to a room, underneath the low-slung entertainment center. I hadn't realized she could even get under there! Apparently, she did, and stayed long enough to run down her battery. He took her back to her docking station, and she happily docked to recharge.
And we lived happily ever after.
