Toys and Games Reviews of Fur Real Friends Kitty Cat WhiteCustomer Review: Our Daughter Loves It!!! Summary: 5 Stars
We just bought this cat at Walmart for our 2 1/2 year old daughter after Christmas. She'd recieved some money & gift cards & we were looking for an electronic puppy, but we found this, instead. It looked cool on demo mode in the store, and the functions described on the box seemed suitable for a toddler. An older child in the store had received one for Christmas, & told us that it was "awesome!" They sold out quickly. Didn't have high expectations after reading the other reviews here. It looks pretty realistic for a $45 "robo pet." We had to rehome a new dog due to the dog not being trustworthy with our daughter. She was asking for "her doggy," so I gave her this cat & hoped to distract her with it. It was a hit right out of the box!! We've already named her Snowball. My daughter began carrying it around with her immediately, and wanted "her cat" near her at all times, either in her lap or sitting right next to her. As far as I can tell, it does everything it's supposed to, & she's had no trouble whatsoever getting it to respond. She's already discovered that putting her hand over/across the kitty's face will get it to turn its head, blink, move its ears, swish its tail, & meow (opens its mouth when it meows) -- she loves that!! And she's gotten it to hiss when handling its tail (you need to grab the tail in a specific place right behind the butt to get it to hiss). Petting the kitty's back does cause it to purr and sort of kneel down & knead its paws (although the paws don't really look as if they're moving to me) -- again, she loves all of that, too!! The kitty does sit back up on her own after kneeling, purring, & "kneading" her paws. If you put your hand on the back of kitty's neck, you can feel her purr. This "cat" has already given her more "love" than our real 10-year-old cat, who doesn't interact with our daughter much due to his age. You can pet it's forehead, belly, & back (& cheeks, I think) for a response & some purring, so since she's been carrying it around all day, it's been one active kitty! Our real kitty won't let our daughter carry him around, & he's too heavy for her anyway. Initially, the kitty did go to sleep when it was ignored for a few minutes, but then, it seemed to move, meow, & purr for no reason, even when my daughter wasn't touching it. I think the demo batteries that came with the kitty were wearing down, & causing it to act erratically. We put in fresh batteries, & it stopped behaving so erratically. It was still a little active, & not going to sleep. I finally figured out that being in the living room with the TV on & my daughter's constant motion & noise was probably too much stimulation for the kitty. I put her in a dark, quiet room, and she goes to sleep fine (of course, there's always the OFF switch). She does awaken w/o being touched, though. My husband came home, turned on the light, and was taking off his coat, etc., & she woke up, started moving, & meowing again. Don't know how long this kitty will last. We haven't had it long enough. It has fallen from about 2-3 feet onto the carpet several times, & is ok so far, but doesn't seem as sturdy as TMX Tickle Me Elmo. However, TMX Elmo is severely neglected, & like I said, my daughter loves this kitty!! Yes, you can hear motors & gears moving, & you can feel hard plastic under the fur, but my daughter doesn't seem to notice or care -- that's all that matters!! We're very happy with it! Worth every penny for the joy it brings to my daughter!! We also found Scamps My Playful Pup at eBay, but I think he *may* be a little advanced for our daughter. We'll see. She's precocious for her age. If you have a young child, can't have any pets, & can find this toy somewhere, get it if you can!! I bought 2 more for my friend's girls! [Tips: (1) Make sure your cat has been switched from "Try me" mode to ON. (2) Wait for your cat to stop moving, meowing, purring, etc. before trying to activate another function. (3) If behaviour seems erratic, try turning cat off for a while, and then, back on again. (4) OR try putting in fresh batteries if behaviour is still erratic. (5) If the cat won't go to sleep, put her in a quiet, dark room OR turn her OFF!] Bottom line: keep expectations realistic for a mid-priced toy -- this is not meant to replace a live cat. Don't expect the cat to live forever. It's not built like The Terminator. It doesn't walk (you'd have to pay a lot more for that!), but our daughter doesn't care, as she carries it with her all over the house. This toy was not purchased for Mom & Dad, so our daughter's reaction is the one that counts! BTW, these can still be found at a certain huge auction site for at or below original retail.
