It can be modified, and I still plan on washing it, but such a model is instantly $10,000 more expensive. They stopped sweeping altogether once he arrived, and now whenever cats scatter the floor, we turn it on. Cats still have some trepidation around him, but not nearly as much. In addition, a model with the same turret (among which are a lidar, a laser rangefinder, and anything else) but with a more optimal orientation in space should be used.
