Cat Companion

My partner & best friend lost his beloved cat last year and misses her terribly. Due to illness and going blind, he feels he can’t take care of another cat any more plus he’s concerned what would happen to his pet when he passes. The holiday season is especially rough on him and I’ve been very concerned. This cat is my early Christmas gift for him and I hope it will help him cope. I told him why the early gift and gave it to him on Sunday. Now I wish I’d taken a picture of his delight! He laughed & smiled so bright 😊 I haven’t seen him this happy in a long time. The cat looks like his beloved MsKitty, a long haired tuxedo cat, and her fur feels soft. Meow & purr are louder, I assume for us hard of hearing, but sounds very sweet. She rolled over, interacted while we were talking, to his delight. Yes, there is a slight mechanical noise when she moves and her body is not as soft as a real cat, the pads in her paw feel somewhat firmer BUT it is the perfect companion for any cat lover who misses their fur baby and can’t take care of a real cat. I wish it would be rechargeable for easier handling. For anyone with a loved one missing their pet, this is a great gift of love and care. MsKitty sleeps on the other side of his bed and he can reach over, feel her purr, hear her meow and reminisce of times past but look forward to the future! He made a clip and sent it to his sister and she thought the cat was real! lol! I tried to post a copy but couldn’t, sorry. You can’t put a price tag on happiness and I sincerely hope MsKitty will be his companion for a long time, unlike some other reviewers reported. Well made, very protective packaging, I highly recommend this cat as it is a wonderful gift. Update 12/04/24 Was just able to add the short clip mentioned above. My friend calls her Cutie now and is so very happy, he even talks to her like we all do with our “living” pets. His family noticed him perking up a little and is a little happier. For as long as it lasts, money very well spent. It means the world to me to have him talk animated about Cutie, smile/joke and how his family members are stopping by to meet the addition to the family! lol Update 01/25/2026 Cutie is still in operation without any problems. Batteries lasting a long time! My partner handles his Cutie with care, like he would have his “real” cats. Personally I feel JOY FOR ALL created a high quality product but handling anything electronic with movable components with less care could cut down on condition/performance of the product.

Now, it’s not advanced robotics, it wouldn’t fool a healthy-minded person. This is a wonderful companion for a loved one with advanced dementia. A real cat wouldn’t be able to tolerate the constant handling and fidgeting, but this robot stays put, purrs, meows, moves, interacts, and gets hugged and kissed by the grateful holder. It’s wonderful to see.

I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine! It is so cute and great! The cats opens and closes its eyes! Rolls over! Meows and purrs!

First, this cat is a wonderful thing!! I bought it for a lady with dementia, and she LOVES it. I wish I could share the video, but due to confidentiality I cannot. It was incredibly wonderful though! She laughed, she smiled nonstop, and she was so happy! It is an awesome gift, and I love the features of the cat! The best part is that it isn't easy to predict, what it's going to do. Sometimes it meows on its own, like a real cat. Sometimes it will lick its paw, or roll over, or start purring. She adores it, and he's brought much happiness to her! I would highly recommend buying one for any person with dementia. Having said all of this, I do wish, extremely, that it was a bit more user friendly insofar as it "eating". The lady who got her is convinced that the cat is hungry when it meows (I can make it silent, but she loves it "talking" to her). I have tried extremely hard to convince her that it doesn't need to eat, but she only remembers it for a short while, then she tries again. It's SO hard, to keep her from trying to feed it, or give it water! I unfortunately think that she may have caused a short in it, from trying to give it water, and pour it down its throat. (I am not always able to monitor this, or stop her.) The eating aspect is very hard too! She waits until it meows, then stuffs food in its mouth. Because it can't close its mouth properly then, it makes an actual chewing motion, trying to close it. It's so hard, as I fear that it may break with her continuing to try this. I wish, very much, that the company would make one that could be fed! If it had a plastic mouth, impervious to moisture, and perhaps a little jar for a stomach, that could be emptied, that would be extremely wonderful! It's a person's nature to want to take care of their pets, and feeding is part of that! Please Joy For All, make a version that can be fed. I would gladly pay more for that feature!

Es la cosa más hermosa que puedieron haber creado, hace 4 años perdí a mi hijo gatuno y lo extraño mucho desde entonces, gracias a este juguete tan bonito por regresarme ese sentimiento bonito que el me brindaba, gracias gracias 🥹🥰❤️‍🩹

The cat just purs or closes eyes. It doesnt do anything else. The price is not worth this its not like a pet replacement.

I just adore my cat. Looks real, sounds real and yes, smells like a real cat after a few days of petting it. The meow sounds is uncanny, sounds like a natural cat. When you don't pat the animal for a while and you come to slightly brush your hand against its head, it makes a sigh sound. It sometimes wakes up even if you don't touch it. The only 'flaw' is a click click sound it makes when it flickers its ears and the slight mechanical noise you can hear when it moves the rest of its limbs but hey, it's a robotic cat! This is the next best thing to a real-life cat, especially when you live in a no-pet-allowed apartment. The benefits are that you don't have to feed it, clean it, take it to the vet and when you don't want it to meow, you have a 'mute' button. Perfect for any age! And it does soothe the anxiety just by holding and petting it. Worth the price! P.S. After only a year of purchase I had two replacements directly with Hasbro. Seems the more you pet him, the more the mechanism inside wears out and the batteries are not the issue. It's a drag because you love your pet, but it's like in real life; you need to put him to sleep and get another one. Can't be repaired.

Para a função de doentes idosos interagirem, é muito onconveniente soltar pelos, podendo provocar alergias. No mais, excelente.

アルツハイマー型認知症と診断された祖母が「家に一人でいると寂しい」というので、家族が一緒にいられない間の相手役としてこの商品をプレゼントしました。Amazon.comのレビューでも高齢者や認知症の方から高い評価を得ていることや、施設などでも利用されていることもあるということを読み、祖母が気に入って使ってくれるか半信半疑の中購入しましたが、大ヒットでした。 最初から「本物みたい」と好感触の反応で、1,2週間して慣れてくると、「猫ちゃんただいま」と帰宅時に話しかけるように。1か月ほどすると、夜も一緒に寝るようになったようで、一人の時間の寂しさを紛らわせてくれるようです。 効果があるかわからなかったので購入を迷いましたが、思い切って購入してよかったです！
