While doing the Cat's Cradle has proved to be a bonding experience for young girls across generations, let's face it... some girls just don't have friends. Be they gossips, backstabbers, sluts, or just plain new in town, someday you may find yourself a girl down on your luck with no one willing to convey taut pieces of string from their hands to yours and vice versa.

Or, maybe you do have friends, but they lack the dexterity to accomplish complicated twine transferals, or maybe they simply don't have fingers.

And sometimes isn't it just more rewarding to transpose loops of cord into the rubbery digits of an animatronic companion? There's something reassuring about little girls and robots cooperating in the intimate task of strategically transmitting yarn designs, isn't there?
