Chatimal Hamster

Chatimals, the mad little monsters that repeat what you say.

"Talk to me you furry little critter", and he'll do just that. Whatever you say to him he says back to you (you have toyed with the iPhone app that does the same but isn't as furry). He alters his tone at random, so you could get to sound like a mamalian Barry White or Mika, it's anybody's guess. It will record in five second bursts over a period of thirty seconds, so you can get quite alot of chat in before he starts blurting it all back to you, and he even moves his lips as he talks. It's unaccountably funny and deeply silly, and if you have a second or third language you'll find he's a well travelled little animal as he'll chat back in whatever language you talk to him in.
