We need a remote-petting-arm so we can pet the cat'berts over long distance lines.

Also a microphone for receiving feedback.

Or just walk over to the local cat rescue?

Not every problem needs a technical, internet connected solution Some problems are easily solved with "just going out of the door and spending some time" (which, I know, is not a very HN answer, but well)

Hey Cat as a Service (we meow not concatenate) is a fine idea

I have already patented SaaS. Sheep as a Service.

Touch Grass as a Service?

We need a remote-grass-touching-arm so we can touch grass over long distance lines.

and a remote foot for the feet people

But how can this "remote-grass-touching-arm" push the "smell" and "tactile" back to the user? Is there an open spec for this? It should certainly be P2P and E2E encrypted. Also "smells" should ensure not to use patented or proprietary names.

Maybe some CSmS, Cascading Smell Sheets? Or TFP, Tactile Feedback Protocol, the one that uses JWT and JSON over HTTP2 and websockets?
