"Santa brought a big BlaBla cat for my 3-year-old and a little BlaBla cat for my 1-year-old. I have to say the flashy noise making toys got more attention on Christmas day. But after the newness factor faded, these cats were in high demand. BOTH little girls wanted to hold BOTH cats all the time. After a couple of weeks of that struggle, Grandma went in halfers on new cats; this time a big cat for the 1-year-old and a small cat for the 3-year-old. Now they each have a big/little pair. (The 1-year-old's nirvana is holding all four cats at once.)
I have to say when I first saw these cats, I didn't get it. They seemed a little simplistic and overpriced. The only thing that convinced me to get them were the scores of positive reviews. They were right! Little ones love these toys. They are used as pillows by both of my girls nightly. I still smile when I see my little one sleeping with her tiny arm wrapped around a cat. And they wash up great in the washer and dryer (even though it says air dry, I dry on the lowest level and they come out perfect). Parents know how dirty stuffed animals can get, it is worth it to invest in a toy that can be easily cleaned in the washer.
All in all, a great purchase!"
