Doesnt look like the picture but still cute
The picture on Amazon looks absolutely nothing like the actual item. However I really dont care what it looks like because my timid 2 year old female kitty i purchased this for likes it. She kneads and lays on it when it is turned on. The purr doesnt really sound real but it doesnt seem to matter to her. I like that this takes batteries instead of being yet another thing to have to recharge. For the price this toy is cute and helps my kitty.

Product image changed after purchase!!
Still got the cat toy which is more like a cat comforting design than a fun toy although every cat is different i put tape around the sound box that makes the purring sounds so they aren’t so loud and my bengal cat likes the soothing two minutes of purring that the toy makes. It’s durability, battery life and value for money are all something I’ll be able to circle back with as time passes but for now other than the appearance change this cat toy, fun toy design is just another fun toy for my cat to toy around with. Cat toy of the Year! Depending on your cat!! 🐈

Great idea, mediocre execution (volume needed for video)
I got the sloth purr plushy. The plushy itself is soft and cute, and my orphaned neonatal kittens absolutely love cuddling up with it. If you’re just interested in the plushy, I’d say it’s certainly worth $10. I purchased two and they both have held up really well despite going through the wash several times.The purr machine is easy to operate, just press it to turn it on and off. Unfortunately it has a ***very*** limited time span, probably around 60-90 seconds at most. The purrs are at the perfect volume considering that it is kept inside a plushy, but you have to constantly reset it which kinda defeats the purpose if you are using it to help your little ones fall asleep.Amazon “ideas”: Smelled fine. Entertainment value was good for kittens, but my cats are terrified of them. Chewability – not a chew toy.

Took some time but it soothes my girl
I recommend most for kittens and for cats who have lost another cat, say if you had 2 cats and one passed away or is no longer there. This may help with grief/loneliness. I also recommend for kittens. Kittens are born blind and deaf, so purring is how mother and kitten communicate. Purring also helps soothe and heal all stressed cats/kittens. It communicates safety. The purr on this may seem slightly loud or mechanical to us humans but is not abnormal to a cat. Just give it some time.I got this for young (around 6mo’s) feral gal I recently took in. She was young enough that feral bit wasn’t SO intense, but had only lived outside so distrusted anything she’d never seen outdoors before, like pillows, beds, etc. I tried various thing to help her adapt. She’d lived with an older Tom in my neighbors recently vacant yard, but he took off a few weeks before I was able to get her in and thought this toy might help her both with boredom & loneliness.She didn’t like or trust it much at first. When I’d turn it on she’d avoid it, and when I turned off she ignored it. I kept it in her room for a few weeks without turning on and now that she’s settled in, she loves to cuddle kick it when I turn it on. She’ll wrap her arms and legs around it, cuddle it, and kick at same time. She purrs when she does it so I think it must offer some level of comfort and companionship.The Velcro is strong, which is good. I wouldn’t normally leave anything with battery near any animal, but the batteries are in a well sealed plastic box, which is tucked inside toy, and the strong velcro seals that box in.I think the amount of time it’s on, abt 90 secs maybe, is good amount of time, tho I wish there was an option to have it turn on every half hour or so as my cat hasn’t been able to turn it on alone yet. That said, after I’ve turned it many times before, she now enjoys it even while off because she associates it with the purr she has heard from it before, so for the price I think it’s worth it.

Not so Soothing
I recently purchased this in hopes of providing my cat friend with a comforting companion while I’m away.To start, the purring sound is excessively loud. When I first turned it on, my cat was startled and immediately ran away. In the video I took, you can clearly see that she is not a fan of this toy. Instead of the calming effect I hoped for, it caused her stress and anxiety. A soothing toy should ideally produce a gentle, comforting sound, but this one fails in that aspect.Additionally, the design poses a significant issue. The toy features a button located inside that requires a considerable amount of pressure to activate. My cat, being a typical feline, has not been able to turn it on herself. This means she relies entirely on me to engage with the toy, which defeats the purpose of having a soothing companion for her when I’m not around.I also wish I had noticed earlier that the description advises against leaving the toy alone with unsupervised pets. This is concerning, especially since it’s marketed as a solution for separation anxiety. If it’s not safe to leave with my cat when I’m not around, then what’s the point of having it at all?While the toy looks cute and appears to be made of safe materials, the loud noise and impractical design make it unsuitable for my cat. I would not recommend this toy for those looking to soothe their pets. Instead, consider options that focus on quieter sounds and that cats can easily interact with on their own. Hope this helps!

My kitten is from an outdoor wild cat litter.Transition to home was done quickly due to the situation and not having enough time to do it as I wish I could’ve.I crate train my kitten to have him build confidence and his first night was awfull. Him being used to be out in an outdoor grange spending his day between wood logs and the other kittens of his litter, he was terrified of being indoor.The noises, the different smells, the lights, vibrations of the floor, everything.The poor one spent his night crying and meowing.I needed something to soothe him. I started looking only for soothing kitten must haves/toys/aids and found this toy. The texture and plush on the head part is perfect as the rest is empty. The purring sound really mimics a real cat purring sound. I was afraid it would sound really fake but no!His first day home after his first terrible night, we received it as I had bought it during the night, being unable to sleep and to sooth the poor kitten as quick as possible.And wow!It helped him acclymatizing and gaining confidence. It helps him get to sleep mode and to sleep whenever night times comes. It soothes him and able him to calm his terrified fazes.Perfect for crate training (I have my kitten in a large dog crate with a litter, toys, small cat tree and a blankie) and for having them getting used to new environment because he was a forest kitten.Our second night together was way better! I was only woked up arround 5:30 am instead of consistent cryings all night having me to not sleep at all.He started feeling way more confident indoor today, walking with less fear arround and almost none anymore.He would look at walls and ceillings being completely terrified before.If you are doubting on getting this, just get it, this is the best purchase I did for my new little fur one💛

Pour un chaton de 3 semaines qui était orphelin, il a bien aimé mais a eu un peu peur du bruit, je l’utilise sans le son. Bon produit

Lo he comprado porque estoy cuidando de un gatito bebé de 4 días y la pobre llora muchísimo buscando a su mami y hermanitos, y pensaba que la podia apaciguar un poco. De textura es muy suave, el ronroneo dura poquito y se nota de altavoz, pero de algún modo la calma, así que me parece muy buena compra. Envío en el día. Muy contenta.

Love the plush pillow, both cats enjoy snoozing on it. They’re not impressed with the snoring feature, but it is easily turned off or removed. Great.
