Fur Real Pet Reviews

This battery-operated pet is surprisingly realistic in the way it responds to good old-fashioned tender loving care. From the outside, this toy appears to be simply a lovable stuffed animal. The long soft gray hair, sweet pink nose, and green eyes make it look like a real kitten. The unusual thing, though, is the way this kitty responds to a person’s touch. Pet the kitten’s back and she will meow, purr, and move her paws in a kneading action. When kitty is hungry, just feed her by placing the included feeding bottle up to her mouth and listen as she slurps away. All these reactions are controlled by a special sensor on the kitten’s back which responds to a person’s touch. For a child who is too young for a real pet, this toy feline may be the next best thing. For a child who wants something huggable, this may not be the right way to go--the internal mechanics are hard and prevent you from giving this little pet a good squeeze. Three AAA batteries required (included).

While there exist numerous trainable robotic dogs on the marketplace, there's something a little refreshing about a furry mechanical pup that simply does whatever he wants to. Because really, haven't we all met or even owned dogs like that? Once Go-Go is turned on, he moves back and forth on tiny wheels hidden under thick blond fur all the while pivoting at the shoulders and hips to give a more realistic depiction of walking. Go-Go is a noisy little critter as well barking and panting while moving about the floor. While the real dog movements and sounds were lots of fun, such entertainment does come at a price, in this case five "C" batteries. Like a real dog, Go-Go wears a fetching purple bandana but unlike a real dog, Go-Go has an off switch. --Charlie Williams
