Joy for All Silver Companion Cat

This is an excellent companion for anyone with dementia. The assisted living home my mom recently moved into had three of them and they were in very high demand. I ordered this one for my mom immediately so she could have her own. She had a dog to nurture at my home but sadly he was too old to take with her. I never thought she could be compensated with a stuffed toy. Her response to this tabby cat was amazing. I bought a baby sling so she could carry her cat with her. I also bought other accessories for it so my mom would feel like she was taking care of it. Dementia is such a sad disease but these types of things make our job, as caregivers, a little easier.

My 90 year old Mom LOVES this cat!! It makes her happy and puts a smile on her face. She knows it's not real, but loves it for the companionship it provides her. She has named her kittie Daisy. Thanks for creating so,etching that provides the elderly with so much joy!

I an Activity Director at a CCRC in Iowa and purchased this cat upon the recommendation of a speech therapist who has seen this item successfully utilized in another facility. It was a HUGE success! So very well received by our residents with dementia and without. It seems that since the cat is so very interactive, people stop thinking about it as a "toy" even if they realize it is and begin treating and talking to it as if it alive. The sheer joy and response I have seen from some residents would have made the cost worth if it we had only it in our facility one day. We also have the dog which has been equally successful. I highly recommend more facilities make this purchase. We will be adding this item to our "Christmas List" for those people who want to make a gift donation to the facility at holiday time. Add it to your list as well. It can be used for "pet visits". When we get more, I intend to start a list for "pet care". Residents can sign up to "care" for the pet for a day, 1/2 a day, etc. Very excited about the possibilities and very grateful for the recommendation.

I purchased this for myself to determine if it would be acceptable to give to my husband who has dementia and is in a group home. I am so pleased with it that I am keeping it for myself and have ordered another for my husband. I find it very comforting for myself and my husband's caretakers say he loves his, as well. 74

We purchased this cat for our 5 year old son because he wanted a CAT for Christmas. He has been talking about a cat for months and we were heart broken to let him know that we cant have a cat since my husband is highly allergic. I saw the Companion Cat on our Local News station in Chicago a week before Christmas, and I ran down to my computer as fast as I could to order it. This is the BEST alternative to a real cat. My son LOVES it and we do too! I cant believe it was only $99.00. Great price for all that it does! We are extremely happy with it and our friends are even amazed by it. Thank you Hasbro for manufacturing this product!!!
