Moving and purring cat toy

8 replies

Scout2016 · 27/10/2020 07:07

DD (5 in Feb) wants a toy cat for Christmas that moves / walks and purrs. FurReal seem to have cornered the market on these with terrifying looking Bootsie and Daisy Plays With Me. Does anyone know if they are any good? Or can anyone recommend an alternative please?
I know that whatever I get will make me feel homicidal but if it is entertaining and doesn't break on boxing day that's a start. Ideally not voice activated please. She has a useless Lucy dog already that she loves despite it only responding to baritones and therefore ignoring everything she tells it to do.

Giving this a bump as I've been looking at Bootsie too Smile

Thank you. Bootsie seems to be near discontinued and I can only find at Amazon. Which makes me wonder....

DD had a Precious Petzz cat for Christmas about 8 years ago. The purring and breathing functions barely made it to New Year, but she still loves the toy and it only cost around £30 from a stand in a shopping mall so I wasn't too upset.

Furreal do Walkalots or Peealots where you push them to walk and they make cat noises, and are much cheaper than the full on creepy robotic animals.

Thanks. I can't stomach the Peealots but I am considering the Walkalots. I like the look of Precious Petzz but they are a bit sleepier than I had in mind.

Mu daughter got Bootsie last year. Its a cute toy in that it meows , moves its head, purrs but thats about it. It doesnt walk or wave its tail. To be honest, mine got a bit bored with it but my child can be a bit difficult to please.

Thanks @ISpeakJive the YouTube videos make it look more interesting but I guess part of that is moving it about yourself into different positions.

Bumping in hope.
