    Am a care manager for Agency on Aging. Our agency ordered 4 kitties and 4 puppies and we received them today. OMG we were all playing with them today, talking to them, brushing them, interacting with them. We are going to match them with qualifying socially isolated, early dementia consumers-there are guidelines one has to meet to receive one. If we have success with this new program we will be getting more. We all think our office needs one we can interact with during a very stressful day! We really hope to have success with this new program!

      Sounds like a great program. A friend of mine reported that the cat was very good for her mother at first. But as her dementia progressed, she seemed confused by the cat. But it really perked up her spirits early on.

    The cat has light and sound sensors. The cat greets me when I walk into the room. If it’s been dark in the room and I turn on the lights the cat will wake up yawning shake it’s head around to wake up, then greets you. Try running a flash light across its eyes if you want to test. It’s behavior is getting a little more complex. Extra sounds and head movements while paw washing. Half yawn. This review missed a lot. I don’t think he played with it much. At least not as much as I have! It is a fun toy. Can be a great stress reliever (Where’s my Cat!)

      I have a light set to go on in the family room at 6:00 Am. No matter where I am in the house, I hear the cat greet the morning and I know the light has gone one. :-)

    Hi. Today,my feed brought up your video, I had seen it before, but I couldn't resist. I really want to thank you for making this review. When I first saw it, I was having trouble getting past the loss of my cat. And,I was breathing so much better, that I realized it was definitely my last cat. Your review normalized the idea of having this as a sort of therapy device. I bought one just like yours, and I even added a little collar like you did, with a bow tie.
    While having no illusions ,it is a toy, I still found it's purr comforting as I petted it while watching TV. And I really love when it randomly sighs. I have had it a year now, and I would encourage anyone who can't have a live cat, especially if you're older, to give it a try...

    • @smallbizthoughts
      @smallbizthoughts  6 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for the note. I've had this cat for more than four years and I still find it comforting to have around. I do appreciate the note, especially after your loss. Take care!

    I just bought one of these for my mom and 97 year old great aunt, both of which have severe dementia. Obviously they can't care for a live animal so I'm hoping this will be a good "pet" for them.

    My brother bought one of these for our mother. She was NEVER a pet person, just barely tolerated us having a dog. She was fascinated by what it could do. She was just starting down the dementia path. She was aware it wasn't a real cat, but was still fascinated by it, and on camera I watched her head to a neighbor's condo to show her the cat! Even after moving to MC she was amused by it, still knowing it wasn't real! However, to some with dementia, the cat IS real and it can be a comfort for them. Cat purrs are known to be calming, and experts suspect it is often a "healing" activity in cats - perhaps there is some rub off on us humans. Who knows? But, if the purring can calm an agitated person with dementia, it is worth the cost.
    Having watched the whole video, I have to say you missed some of what the cat can do. There are a few "sensitive" spots that will create reactions, often just the purring, blinking, meowing, ear twitching, head movements, but also rolling over to have it's belly rubbed (something many real cats don't even like!) It also will raise a paw and mimic licking it, sound effects and all. Perhaps read those instructions you laid out on the table, so you can show everyone ALL that the cat can do. Certainly it isn't the same as a real cat, but in certain circumstances, it can be a surrogate.
    Love the tie! Makes him seem more dignified... Also, as some one else noted, you WERE talking to the cat during the video!!! Several times!

      "Surrogate" well said esp with this crazy social distancing to the extent that my uncle wasn't allowed home leave from nursing home AND we can't visit him. I can laugh that they give reason that elderly can't go to the tiny garden on the same floor of the ward BECAUSE of Covid!
      Elderly are simply, not only INDOOR more than a year, in distance from bed to bathroom to common lounge area that is simply 5 metres away - no flowers, play news on TV. Finally some improvement with festive songs play after early dinner

    It was so funny to see you with your cat. That's exactly how I sit with my "interactive cat grey". It's impossible to brood when you're constantly pulled out of your thoughts. And at the price: I hardly need any sweets any more. So in 3 months I have already saved more than the cat cost.

      @@smallbizthoughts I have a real orange cat named Simba that I would bring over to her house to visit. But it stresses my cat out too much. So I bought the orange version of this robotic cat and I'm going to call it Simba too. I'm not sure if she'll know whether it's real or not. My mom is in the later stages and I need something to keep her calm, as she is starting to do very strange things, like change her clothes 10 times a-day and wander around the house mumbling. My mom loves my cat so I hope this does the trick. She may need to go into a care facility soon, as my dad is not able to handle her any longer. 😥

      REVIEW:
      OK, my mom has been enjoying the orange robot cat for the last few days. She really likes it, and it comforts her. She's starting to lose her appetite and fights us at meal time, so I put it on the dinner table while she's eating to keep her in a good mood.
      She loses interest in the kitty pretty quickly after about 5 or 10 minutes, but then she noticed it across the room and is interested again later. I do feel that it's keeping her calm, but sometimes I have to turn it on mute because it's too much for her. It still moves around and blinks at her and purrs on mute, it just doesn't meow. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, and so is she. Good purchase!
