I don’t usually write reviews, but I wanted to share this experience. My Aunt has severe dementia. She just lost her husband, was moved out of her home. The circumstances of the lose and move were both very traumatic. She was incredibly, and understandably, very upset. She mostly curled into a ball and she cried a lot. Without the ability to communicate clearly, we were quickly running out of ideas on how to comfort her. We are incredibly fortunate that she is in a really great LTC facility. The care givers are quick to “burrito wrap” her, hold their face close to hers, and stroke her face and hair. Sometimes this works great, and sometimes not at all.I didn’t know much about dementia two months ago. Through A LOT of reading on line, I found this company and it’s cat’s/dog’s comfort devices. I ordered her a cat right away. It seemed like common sense, to me, that it would be calming for her. My hope was that she would have a natural wonder about the cat. Wonder and caring that a child usually displays when first introduced to animals in general.The first time I gave her the cat, she was having a bad day, and showed no interest. The next day was much better, and she talked to the cat for a good 7-10 minutes straight! She named her Kitty Cat, and had a full dialog (with the cat) on how she/cat had been out running all over town having a great time. And, that now she/cat was back home where she/cat belongs. She stroked the fur, felt all the details on the cat…pads, tail, whiskers and so on.It’s been a couple of months since she first got Kitty. She has no idea who I am, but she remembers Kitty Cat and can point her out if asked. Kitty lives on her bed mostly. The staff know that if my aunt gets upset, that Kitty’s purring can help to calm her and can even lull her to sleep.I can’t say enough good things about this cat. It’s been truly amazing for her. It brings her so much joy. She laughs, giggles, and talks to the cat…a lot. She opens her hands to pet the cat in long soft strokes down the full length of the body. She will extend her legs out to accommodate the cat on her lap and/or chest. It’s about the only way we can get her to stretch out.The only advice I would give on the cat is to brush it out really well before handing it off. To remove any loose strands of “fur”. Other than that, let the device do it’s magic!

My mother had several strokes and a seizure over 1 1/2 years ago. She is now dealing with dimentia. She has been missing her cats so bad. Talks about them all the time, but can’t have them in the nursing home. We happened to see another resident with the brown and white version and Mom kept talking g about it so we bought her one and gave it to her this evening. She just keeps petting it and talking to it. I was skeptical at first but after seeing her tonight with this cat I am a believer. So glad we made the purchase. This means so much to her. Thank you!

Batteries need replaced at least twice a month. And thats four C batteries each time. At 10.00 each time. Stopped working correctly after a couple months. I have purchased two for my mother and both stopped working. One was replaced under warranty after I submitted several videos. But the other one they would not replace. One lasted three months and the second one lasted only two months. They are a good idea for the elderly but do not last. My mother has gotten very attached to the cat thinking it is real. Now I am sorta stuck buying batteries and having to replace the cat periodically. Very expensive. Not a one time purchase but a continued expense. I wish I had never purchased one at all.

I’m 61 years old & now live in a long term care facility because of an accident at home February 2021. My husband and I had 2 therapy cats, Sissy & Sandy who comforted my husband while I was at work, shopping, had appointments to go to or visited with friends.Mark passed away in the accident & I went from 2 months of being hospitalized to where I am now living. Our 10 year old cats were adopted (thankfully together), by a stranger & I haven’t heard anything about how they’re doing yet.I saw this toy? on Amazon & thought I’d try it out—what could I lose? The package came and I put it aside at first, then took it out of the box & into the bed I had bought for it. It stayed like that until I felt I wanted to try it out & so I turned it on & started getting used to it. I thought I’d be crazy to treat it like a real kitty, but I found myself talking to it and petting it & finding out what my cat was able or unable to do.I fell in love with it within the first few hours & then had named her by the end of the day. Rayne was capable of meowing, purring, “licking” it’s paw, turning sideways for a belly rub and giving me the comfort & attention which I had been missing for a very long time. I’m not saying that this cat should be bought in place of a living kitty which needs a home, but it’s a great replacement for someone who isn’t allowed to own or is incapable of taking care of an actual cat.I’ve already bought her 2 collars, a pink & white bed, a larger brush for her soft gray and white fur and a tag in the shape of a paw with her name inscribed on it.I hope this helped you to make a decision as to if you want to buy 1, 2 or even 3 fur babies for yourself or someone else who you love and or care for. Peace & love.

I ended up getting two of the cats. Bought one for my sister in the nursing home. She loves her kitty. Very real like. Then another resident saw it and fell in love with it and we found out that she always had a kitty at home. So for her 100th birthday I bought her one. That cat it her life. And it’s been willed to me cause I’ll take care of her. Very realistic soft and batteries last a long time. And is perfect companion for nursing home residents that cannot have live animals.
