M-21's ear twitched when he heard whirring and beeping. Frankenstein's roomba was activating but it would take a while before it reached him so he didn't move just yet. Though he would need to finish his snacks before it swept them up.
"Mrow?" Tao was watching the roomba, the tip of his tail flicking.
Oh, he hadn't seen one before?
The roomba skirted the walls before it bumped into one of Tao's scratching posts, heading further into the room. When it hit the coffee table, it turned into Tao's direction.
"Mrrrow?" Tao tried again.
It kept coming, and Tao's fur started to puff, his spine arching upwards. Ah.
M-21 went over to pick Tao up or to comfort him, but before he could do that, Tao swiped at the roomba with a hiss before dashing away, his ears flat.
He hid behind M-21 and peeked out from behind M-21's leg, hissing again.
M-21 licked his head, hearing the roomba approach. Normally he would move out the way to let it work, but maybe he shouldn't this time. Then Tao would know it wasn't something to be scared of and it wouldn't hurt him.
The roomba bumped into his paw and moved away.
Tao was still watching the roomba when M-21 licked him again.
Tao slunk after the roomba, his tail up again. He caught up and tapped it on the side. The roomba kept going, and with a 'Prrt', Tao leaped forward and sat down.
The roomba hit him, and then turned around.
Before it could start moving again, Tao put himself in front of it again, patting it.
Ah... Maybe he shouldn't have taught Tao that... The roomba couldn't do its job now.
With a huff, M-21 went over to collect Tao before he could continue bothering the roomba.
"Mrrooow!"
They could go into one of the other rooms until the roomba was finished.

M-21's ear twitched when he heard the familiar beep and whirring. Tao had been climbing his ladders the last time he'd seen him and M-21 had enough time to see Tao leap from one of the mid-height stands towards the sofa.
Tao made the leap and then dashed down towards the roomba.
"Mrow!"
With a huff, M-21 went over to stop him before he started bothering the roomba again.
He paused when he saw Tao sitting on the roomba instead.
The roomba wasn't impeded, continuing on its usual route, at its usual speed as far as M-21 could tell.
When the roomba bumped into Tao's scratching post, Tao batted the post, but seemed happy to stay on.
Huh.
Tao had found something new to occupy himself with, so M-21 would leave it at that.
