- Snuggle Kitty Heartbeat Cat Toy for Kittens and Cats with Real-Feel Pulse and Heat Pack, Calming Sleep Aid for Cat Anxiety, New Kitten Essentials - Tan Tiger

Could not believe how my feral neonate kitten took to this stuffed cat with the heartbeat. Excellent quality heartbeat not to loud . She sleeps on top of its arms and underneath it times as well . Safe ,durable and great for any animal needing comfort mimicking mothers heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Sorry in advance for being long-winded with this review! I only wish this info had been available to me, when pondering this $40.00 purchase. Yes, it's really expensive. But this little cuddle kitty has been a life-saver for my Romeo. So, here is my sob story...my "almost" 14 year old Domestic Short-Hair cat Romeo is missing his brother Rocco. Romeo & Rocco, brother's since birth (pictured together as kitten's & adult's), they were together since 4/2004. They groomed, slept, played and loved on each-other their entire lives. On 1/23/18, I came home @ 10:00pm, both cat's seemed to be fine, they both ate a late dinner. Rocco (black & white/ cow cat), as normal, he went downstairs to his litter box and then, I heard a horrible flailing noise. I ran to check on him and there was my "seemingly healthy boy" laying on the step (indoors), crying and his back legs were completely paralyzed, and he was having trouble breathing. We rushed him to the emergency vet, but there was no saving him. He was newly (that night) diagnosed with congestive heart failure & that night, a blood clot had released & perched itself just in the right spot, as to cut-off all circulation to both of his back feet (with no positive prognosis). It was the most terrifying and traumatizing thing that I've ever gone through. Rocco was in pain, he was in duress, he couldn't breathe normally...and with no viable treatment's available, we were forced to put him to sleep that night. It was the absolute hardest decision that I have ever been forced to make. He was my baby! He slept with me every night! He was this crazy little kitty who "LOVED" to be vacuumed...anytime I ran the vacuum, he was right there, wanting to be vacuumed. I only wish, I had video of it. So, after we came home from the hospital without Rocco that morning, his brother Romeo was missing him so much over the next few days. I thought, what can I do to ease his loneliness, worry, and just plain sadness?? I went online and "Googled"..."Cuddle Kitty" and up came this little stuffed animal on Amazon. It wasn't inexpensive at almost $40.00 & I'm not rich, however, I thought, if this could in "ANYWAY" ease Romeo's suffering, I'm all in! I purchased "Kitty" from Amazon and keep in mind, he/ she's nothing more than a really soft and well made stuffed animal. The heart-beat...? I really don't think it made much difference (as other's have said, it's rather loud and for me, really unnatural, the manufacturer should quiet it down a bit). I never used the included heat-pack because I placed a heating-pad on my couch for Romeo & "Kitty"...they seemed to like it. 6 week update: Romeo doesn't sleep with "Kitty" anymore. He actually avoids "Kitty" and that's fine. If he just needed "Kitty" to get him over the "hump" so be it! I'm guessing other pet-parent's would agree and do the same. OVERALL: Kitty is a great purchase...you've gotta do, what you've gotta do, at the time and if this little guy works...GREAT!

If you have a kitten that was taken from its momma prematurely, still wanting to nurse or is clingy, this is the snuggle heartbeat toy that works amazing. It comforted the 9 week old kitten I was fostering and helped her sleep peacefully. I highly recommend. It comes with batteries and the heartbeat can be set to different speeds. It does not purr which I like, so that I can hear the kitten purring. It is soft and fluffy yet firm enough to pass as a momma cat. Absolutely a game changer. The price is reasonable and ships quickly.

My little boy turns away from it, and he hasn't touched it on his own while it's been right there waiting for him. I got another smaller cuddler for him that he wants nothing to do with either. I got him from a neighbor who'd just moved to the city. He was already 7 y.o. and had been a barn cat who survived on wht he killed, so I basically had to domesticate him. He doesn't take to certain toys and such the way most cats do, but he is the sweetest loverboy. He's now 16, so I try to find new things for him, but this and the other toy I'll have to return and hope to find something he WILL take interest in. It IS really soft and cute. It would be good if the company combined a lifelike purr as a combo with the heartbeat, like another company has. That company's product doesn't have good ratings, though, because the purr isn't authentic enough. Don't make any decision based on this review. I doubt many have a cat with a similar background that affected him in ways it shouldn't have.

I foster kittens that have to be bottle fed and purchased this based on the recommendations of a friend. It does have a calming effect on most of the kittens I care for however, I think there are several ways it could be better. The company could have made a microwaveable heating pack rather than the single use disposable ones. Or even a small water bottle to fit inside the plush toy. The heating packs do not warm the entire plush toy, just the underside (the belly). The heartbeat seems okay, but a purring feature in addition to the heartbeat would be a nice addition. As it stands, I use this in conjunction with a hot water bottle and another product that purrs. If those improvements were made this product would be perfect.

I bought this plush as of this morning and it's already working, the heartbeat gives a steady beat and the second I put it next to my kitten she's immediately calm. So far I've only used the standard 8 hour beat since I work from home so I'm unsure when the battery will go out but so far so good. It's nice to have it since I work on a computer and can't type while taking care of her. My kitten is only 12 days old as of writing this, she's already into the softness in it's design, napped underneath it and beside it. There's not any loud noises at least from what I'm seeing on other reviews. I'm not sure if she'll play with it as she gets older but she loves it so far. It's a very soft plush appearance, the battery life seem well so far.

I was skeptical of this product, but thought I would get it given I rescued a feral kitten from a pretty terrible situation, and thought I had a foster for her, but it fell through, so I ended up being a first time foster pretty intimidated. She grew up with two siblings, and they all slept together, she’s been a tough medical case with cdlicivirus, and a couple of other scary things, so I’ve had to keep her quarantine. At first, she climbed the walls, terrified of me and now, after about four weeks, she’s a cuddly, sweet, crazy little cat. I’ve decided to keep her her her name is Peach. I’ve been slowly socializing her with my two other 12-year-old female cats and it’s been a tough adjustment, she’s very kitten, like of course, and loves to pounce and play, but really won’t leave them alone. So I’ve had to keep her in a separate room at night, and do only very small introductions in the day which don’t always go well. I turned this toy on tonight in desperation, and it is truly incredible. At first, she tried to hump it, clearly dominant behavior, and now she is cuddled up to it, and so relaxed, the most relaxed I’ve ever seen her. I’m so happy for her to get some really good rest , I absolutely recommend this to anyone. It’s a really remarkable invention.

My little girl is struggling with early separation from mom and sibs and hoped this would help her to calm and overcome that loss. She has been play agressive toward us in her first weeks at home. Instead of soothing, this stuffy enraged her. She fights it aggressively. She feared the heartbeat (so loud it vibrates). While it’s been a good toy for her to attach, it hasn’t been sooting. Also good to know, the heat pack is one use only.

When my ferrets brother passed away I got him this toy in hopes it would make him feel less alone when he was by himself. Really happy to have seen him cuddled up next to it and take it into his bed with him. I think the heartbeat vibration really soothed him.

My cat loves it

Calms my kitty down immediately

Well, my cat Lexie didn't care two hoots for PK (that's Plush Kitty), but I turned the heartbeat on and held her and promptly fell straight to sleep - so it worked for me!!

The heat pack didnt become warm enough to feel heat through the stuffed animal lining, the heartbeat device's power died after only a few hours, and the heart beat was so strong the cat toy shook when it triggered and scared my pet.
