Are you the type of person who always wants to be shocking, whether at home or at work, who wants to take other people by surprise, and, why not, give them a good scare? Well, if that applies to you, then you'll certainly get a kick out of the device you'll read about as follows, namely the Cat Paw USB Flash Drive, available on the Japanese web-shop GeekStuff4You, because this thing will get people thinking that you've killed some innocent pet and then stuck its paw (after previously sawing it) to your computer.

Now, of course, this is what one would believe when taking a look at this thing from far away, because, if you get close enough, you'll notice that the reproduction is not particularly accurate. Then again, who cares how the flash drive looks from near-by, when you've already managed to scare away half of your co-workers?

Anyway, leaving the scare factor aside, let's take a look at some of the more serious info provided regarding the Cat Paw USB Flash Drive. First and foremost, it's important to mention that it's available in either black or brown versions, thus fitting one's personal tastes. Unfortunately, the amount of storage capacity this thing provides is fairly limited, 2GB not being much for quite some time now.

As the wide majority of USB flash drives available out there, the Cat Paw USB Flash Drive connects to the host computer via a USB 2.0 interface, meaning that it can attain a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbps. Moreover, it will work fairly well with any operating system out there, including here Windows ME / 2000 / XP / VISTA, MAC OS 9.0 and better, Linux Kernel 2.4.2 and better.

The Cat Paw USB Flash Drive sells for around 4,900 Japanese Yen (or about 52 US dollars), which is a bit spicy for its capacity, but overall quite worth it, given the looks.
