Sleepypod "CLEO" Crash-Test Cat, 2015
Add to SetSummary
Sleepypod tested and refined its automobile pet carriers using some of the same facilities used to test child safety seats. Sleepypod created CLEO to simulate a cat riding in one of the company's carriers. The video camera mounted in CLEO's face allowed technicians to study the collision tests from a "cat's-eye" view.
