(More customer reviews)I brought home this furry little bundle of automated reflexes. All it did was respond to motion, look around, make incessant mewing sounds, and look cute. Worse yet, it shed and excreted noxious substances from its body and made me itch and sneeze. How disappointing!
Wait, that was a REAL cat. The FurReal cat only did some of those things, but is quite a fun little toy and is far less annoying than the Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw Parrot. It does not act like a real cat, but it is covered with sensors to feel your touch and to sense whether things move in front of its eyes. Expect some shedding, but no litter boxes to empty. It does not walk around and only exhbits simple behaviors. However, those simple behaviors are quite lifelike and make for a compelling toy and gives an illusion (albeit far from perfect) of being alive. Be warned, it DOES meow. Like others, we purchased ours for less than $40.
My kids got this for my mother as a present. Research shows that automated pets that respond to petting and other stimuli actually make good companions for some people where REAL pets are not an option. The Scoozie pets sold last year incorporated many of these features, but were not as lifelike.
Too bad FurReal did not produce versions of this toy that were tabby or other colors. White fur is not the best color for all children. For our purposes, it is just fine. Maybe at some point in the future these robots will be good enough to stalk the Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw Parrot and solve your household mouse problems (automated or otherwise), but for now this is what the industry can produce at a reasonable price.
