There was a little kitten who needed a home and a little girl and boy who were ready to show their love. The brother and sister waited patiently for days and days. The little girl, Emily hoped she didn’t have to wait as long as she did for her little brother, Luke aka Mr. Fox or Mr. Moo Moo to arrive. The kitten’s sleeping basket was prepared, nothing was too good for this new addition.
After school one night Emily asked her mummy,
Has my, I mean our, kitten arrived yet?
And the mummy replied,
It has and we’ve been waiting all day to share her with you.
The glee on the little girls face melted her mummy’s heart. Instant love appeared as Emily nuzzled her cheek to little kitten and the little kitten purred in a much louder voice then expected.
Mummy can we call her Snowy?
Of course Emily that’s a lovely name.
Welcome Snowy, our newly adopted Little Live Pets Kitten.
Snowy was aptly named as she’s white and soft and it’s the lead up to Christmas was sent for us to review. A lovely little bundle of fun without the need to feed or clean up after. Snowy has been tried and tested by my seven year old and also secretly tried out by my two year old (I know this is below the recommended age but I was with him when he was loving the kitten).
Snowy loves to be handled and is robust enough to be thrown around by a toddler (and carried around by her neck). Snowy cuddles into the cheek and responds quickly to changes in position and depth of touch. She likes her tummy tickled and I’m so envious as to how quickly she can fall asleep too.
Overall, Snowy has six different play modes and 20 kitten sounds, plenty to keep the little ones entertained but, for how long?
I’m so glad you can’t overfeed this kitten as both children are a little eager to provide food and water (Luke can often be found sharing his snacks). It comes with a little bowl but don’t worry if it goes a miss as it’s the positioning of the kitten that makes the lapping sound rather than any connectivity between bowl and cat.
I’ve found both Emily and Luke sitting cuddling Snowy without her being turned on and it’s so nice to see. Also Mr. Fox is calmed down during the night by stroking Snowy previously he’d often want our dwarf hamsters out and with a sleep deprived mummy and a lively but sleepy toddler this wasn’t a great combo.
Would I buy this toy? Prior to the review the price would have put me off but because of the opportunity and living with the kitten I would buy it, sorry adopt a Little Live Pets Cuddles My Dream Kitten for my niece and nephew to share.
Pros of the toy:
Easy to fall in love with, children can play with it independently.
Great for allergy sufferers.
Lots of variety.
Cons of the toy:
The price may be restrictive to some.
This cat moults lots.
The mechanism is very loud indeed which the two year old didn’t mind but annoyed the seven year old a little.
Little Live Pets My Dream Kitten Cuddles is available from many toy shops including Smyths Toys. RRP £54.99
