    Bought for my elderly Alzheimer’s suffering mother. Although she cannot communicate with us this obviously gives her great comfort. Controls for on/off, sound etc a bit hard to access.

    Bought this for my 91 year old dad who moved into a care home earlier this year. The thing he’s missed more than anything was his dog. Even when I took her to visit him he would get upset when we left. Must admit I was abit sceptical how dad, who has dementia would respond to the ‘fake’ dog but he absolutely LOVES it ! He was talking to it, stroking it and was so happy when I said she could stay with him. This has really made a difference to him and his well-being and I can’t thank you enough for making such a wonderful product !

    Brought this to help keep very elderly mother in law calm, she now won’t go anywhere without it, the original batteries are still working well after nearly 5 weeks constant use, it keeps her company all day and helps her to settle into sleep at night, her insomnia has almost completely disappeared and at 97 with chronic short term memory loss and terminal cancer, talking to the dog and stroking it has also alleviated a great deal of her pain and improved her appetite, I would recommend this dog for all elderly and lonely people, it really does help in every way possible

    Mum broke her hip and had to go into a Nursing Home leaving her real cat behind (don’t panic I’m looking after it!). She was devastated and couldn’t stop talking about going home to her cat although she cannot walk.
    As soon as I gave her this she was captivated, immediately christening it with the same name as her real cat. She chats away to it and is thrilled that it ‘talks’ back to her. So far it’s been a brilliant purchase but I’m not looking forward to having to ‘take it to the vet’ when the batteries run out!

    The first one arrived promptly but was faulty and the second arrived two days after I began the return process! The second was perfect and uncannily life-like. There is a mechanical whirring but it’s not annoying and is soon overlooked, we found. My Mother has dementia so as soon as I can see her again, I’ll give this to her and I have high hopes that she’s going to love it. Thankfully, the box makes no mention of dementia or of living in a care home, so her feelings won’t be hurt. The loud purr can be felt and the eyes look real plus the cat chirrups and meows after a time of being untouched, so that will remind Mum of its presence, I think. The only improvement I would suggest is that they work on the mechanism being quieter but maybe they’re already working on that? Excellent service, though.

    This cat was bought for my friend who has vascular dementia. She fell in love with it immediately, discarding the teddy she has been carrying around for the last year.
    Staff at her home say that this is now her constant companion and provides an encouraging response to her petting and talking to it.
    This shows no signs of needing new batteries after a week of constant use.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this for the residents in the care home I manage, we have made many purchases of different things to give the residents things to do, occupy and stimulate them, this is the best money spent EVER. They really do love it ‘Mavis’ is always with someone. We also purchased Charlie the dog and they are wonderful. We have had to introduce a ‘No pets policy’ in the dining room as many residents felt the animals should be allowed on the tables at mealtimes!! Believe me Charlie and Mavis covered in gravy wasn’t good!! Would I recommend for someone with dementia or an elderly person in general who feels lonely, absolutely 100%

    I purchased the dog for a friend who has severe dementia and who lives on her own. When the carer is not there she just looked at the wall but now she pets and talks to the dog all the time and it has greatly improved her quality of life. She even takes it to bed with her!

    Bought the Golden pup for my Partner who is dog crazy , lost her two Lhasa Apso’s to old age last year, misses them terribly, but feels she cannot go through the heartache and expense of having another, this Pup has helped fill the gap and entertained her with its real life actions.
    Although a little expensive I feel it is worthwhile when I see the joy on my Partner face.

    Bought this for my friend who had to go into a nursing home after being independent for 95 years. She absolutely loves this and speaks to it all the time. Her anxiety has lessened and she has permanent company. She talks to it and so do her nurses. Best thing i’ve bought her; so much so i purchased another for the other residents to name and share! Yes it’s a bit hard, mechanical but one jot of imagination and it’s real enough

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI like everything about this cat. She’s so lifelike and just sits on the sofa on a blanket (well, a towel really), because she does lose some fur at times.
    My little 2 year old Great Grandson also adores her and loves brushing her sooo gently. He will give her a kiss, every time she sighs!!! I honestly look on her as a companion. I’m a 85 year old Widow and has had cats in the past, but the block of flats I live in forbid pets ‘in case we trip on them’
    I know if 4 residential blocks of flats for people like me, who reside in these Independent Living flats, that we buy, and also a Care Home next to me that also have one of these pets. I don’t mind people thinking I’m losing my marbles, because I talk to SOX. At least she does reply most times.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersMy mother was delighted by her robo dog – it may be the best thing I’ve ever bought her. She’s perfectly sound of mind, but talks to the dog and pets him. It’s provided great entertainment to friends and visitors. Worth every penny. The dog responds to being touched or spoken to, and it’s lovely for an elderly person to be greeted when they come down in the morning. Be aware though that it’s very much a toy, and claims of being lifelike are a little overstated. Excellent battery life.

    I bought this for my 81 year old mother, who has moderate to advanced semantic / vascular dementia, for Christmas. She had been very restless wouldn’t stay in the house and was often unhappy. She always perked up when she saw a dog and I was very tempted to get a real one but was worried she would over feed it. From the moment she saw this little dog she loved him. We were amazed that we were able to be in the house all Christmas Day lunchtime and afternoon whilst she sat and nursed and talked to him. She did keep trying to feed him though – at one point he had 16 peanuts in his mouth! However that was easy enough to manage as the back of the moth is closed so the food cant get into the mechanism.
    From that day he goes everywhere with her and she spends hours ‘talking’ to him – he has brought great joy.
    I was a bit disappointed when I saw him and nearly sent him back but I’m so glad I didn’t. She has managed to break some of mouth functions but he still moves his head and barks. I would thoroughly recommend and will definitely buy another if this one stops working. The batteries last 3 – 5 weeks.
    The only thing that seems to bother my Mum about him is his hard tongue – if there is one adjustment to be made it would be to make the mouth more realistic – the tail wagging is the best!

    My mother has dementia, she loves this dog. It reacts to her voice, just enough to be realistic. Goes into sleep mode when she stops talking to it. A screw driver is needed to replace the batteries. It’s hard to say if it easy on batteries, as my mother has the dog with her all the time. I replace the batteries as soon as they show any signs of slowing down. They last at least two weeks of continuous use. It’s difficult to wash the dog . It gets dirty, as she always has it with her and attempts to feed it. I bought two , so I could switch them out to facilitate keeping them clean. I’d recommend this 100% I also bought the cat. My mother loved that too. Was even more realistic, as cats lay around not doing much. Although I found it looked a bit creepy. Again very difficult to keep clean.

    Our son who has Asperger loved this reactive toy, it is soft and cute, just like a puppy. It is now his go to “toy” for comfort .
    He likes the fact that you can mute it and just get the reactions, we bought spare batteries,not realising that it came with batteries and was ready to go, however by having the spare set the puppy will keep on going.

    Well worth it just to see his face light up.

    I bought this dog for my 18 month old granddaughter to play with. I wasn’t sure if she’d like it. Anyway, if she didn’t I would keep it for myself. When she first saw it and it started making noises and moving she was a bit startled but watching her mum play with it she soon started joining in. Now, it goes everywhere with her. Its the first thing she goes to in the morning, drags it to mum and turns it upside down so it can be switched on. Recently she was ill and just sat cuddling “doggy dog” on the setee all day. A succesful purchase!
    It’s on all day (and also some nights) but battery life seems to be holding up.

    Even though we thought this cat would be good for Mum, we were also prepared for it to be rejected.

    What we weren’t expecting was the delight and instant connection she made with her new companion.

    Its been 3 weeks now and the cat is still getting more attention than anyone. Mum loves it and is very protective over it.

    I do agree with other customer comments that the mechanical noise when the cat moves might put some people off.

I looked at other options in the local children’s toy store which weren’t much cheaper, but still continued to return to Joy for All option. Even when I completed my purchase I prayed that I wouldn’t be disappointed or that my loved one wouldn’t be offended or dismissive of my birthday gift. It was for a Gran who I haven’t been able to visit for 14months due to Covid closing the carehomes.
    I could not have anticipated my grans reaction to her new pet. She has taken to it with so much love and attention that it fills my heart with so much warmth to know how endeared she is to it. She happily chats away with her cat, tells her she’s a bonnie wee thing with a smile across her face that would melt your heart. Warning though, the cat can be quite a handful. The carehome manager did make us aware that my gran brought the cat to them in the middle of the night ,telling the to throw it in the canal because it kept jumping on her bed and waking her up.
    I would highly recommend this item for your loved one. I am currently raising funds to purchase more for my grans carehome because it has been so well received by all the residents and brightened up their days.

    My daughter is autistic, she is breaking her heart for a real cat but her Dad is allergic.
    She absolutely adores this cat.
    She smiles and grins every time she cuddles it and chats to it.
    Yes you can hear the motors and yes it could be softer, but she loves it anyway.

    Very expensive for what it is. Good life size. It does all the normal cat things but I expected more for the money but still pleased I bought it. Looks nice on sofa. Very comforting.

    We bought this for my mum who has alzheimers. It honestly has given her the greatest joy and comfort and worth every single penny
    It does everything it says and is so realistic, we just love it and wish we had bought it sooner. Highly recommended

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was surprised how realistic the dog is, I bought it for my husband who has dementia but his illness is too advanced now but I sit him on his bed and the dog reacts to movement and noise so alerts me with his barking when he wakes.
    I love the way it barks and whines when he doesn’t get any attention.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersReceived this a.m. Unpacked from very good packaging. Switch him on & it’s brilliant. Cuddly, makes woof noises, eyes open & close, turns his head. Everything they say it does, briiliant. If person I got it for doesn’t like it I’ll be keeping him myself!!

    Excellent, well made, does what it says on box!

    Brilliant comfort for my wife with Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia. It’s purr get louder as it is stroked. It mieows and moves to engage attention. Everyone in her care home has fallen in love with it. We call it Charlie, gender neutral! Highly recommended. May even get one for myself! No feeding, no mess, no fur. If fed up can turn it off!

    I bought this for my elderly mum she has unfortunately dementia. She did like it and thought it was very cute. She’s not interacting with it as much as I thought she would but maybe at the moment that’s probably because of the virus, as we cannot visit her properly and show her it to its best advantage.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this for my elderly mother who has a degree of dementia and lives on her own. Her cat passed away last year and she misses him terribly. She has been asking me to get her another cat but she wouldn’t be able to look after it properly. So I bought this, though was apprehensive about what she would think of it.
    She absolutely adores this cat and often forgets that it’s not real. It’s so realistic, it meows and purrs like a real cat. Mum sits cuddling and talking to it. It’s become a real comfort and companion to her.
    I would definately recommend this and is well worth the money.

    A much loved companion, brought for anxiety and stress relief. Lovely cat to cuddle and interact with. Only after 2 months has stopped working and only does a lot of head clicking. Having to find someone do do a repair which will cost more money. Stressed I can’t enjoy it as I intended.

    Bought a ginger one for my elderly mum who has dementia and was becoming rather unsettled in her residential home. Mum adores cats, she’s always had at least one. Having said that, I was a bit dubious about getting this one, thought she would realise it wasn’t real. I needn’t have worried, she was over the moon and truly believes it’s real. The carers have said mum is much more settled now and she’s always got it on her lap when we have our weekly video call. It reacts to stroking, she’s always talking to it and it seems to meow in response, even I get sucked in to believing it’s real! The only downside, if there is one, that when the batteries ran out, mum thought it was dead! Luckily I’d sent it to her with a few spare sets and a discrete word with the Carer sorted it out.

    Bought this for my mum who has dementia, Nice looking cat, mechanics a bit noisy, although mum just thinks it’s the cats old joints creaking! Motion and sound sensors a great touch , definitely make him more realistic, Purring is fab, can be felt as well as heard, a few more touch sensors would be good as mum is sometimes too gentle in her petting of him to get a reaction and would like it if the cat shut its eyes when sleeping tho as it appears to always be watching, which sometimes disconcerting mum, otherwise lovely item for mum to chat away to thruout the day Wee tip ! We move him around the house so she thinks he’s more active, but always put him back beside her before we leave so she won’t go looking for him !

    Brought this for my mum , took a big risk as I didn’t know if she take to it.
    It took about couple of weeks before she started to touch/ stroke it.
    It does make a mechanical sound, but with mum being hard of hearing, she doesn’t notice i

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersBought this for my father in laws 86th birthday. He was delighted, but my mother in law has fallen in love with it, it resembles their beloved cat Jazzy who passed a year or so ago, we all think the cat is lovely with a strangely expressive face, it is responsive to touch and natural petting movements, the meow is quite loud but can easily be muted, whilst muted the vibrapurr is still audible and my in laws were visibly relaxed and enthralled whilst the cat was being cuddled. Well worth the money

    If doesn’t get faulty is great. Expensive but has given so much joy ,who can put a price on that. Gave to dad with dementia and talks to it, strokes it, wants to take it to bed, thinks it is a real cat. Amazed and glad it doesn’t have claws, expected it to scratch him when moving to start with. Can feel it purr and feels like a real cat to him. Has made him happy. Myself, I tried it out first and ended up naming her but have now had to give to its intended purpose. Found it comforting after chemo and strange steroid events. Found myself talking to and stroking her.

    Given to my Dad with Early stages of dementia, it was amazing. He instantly took a liking to it. Although he commented that it was not real, he spent the first 15 minutes interacting with it, stroking it and taking to it. It most definitely took him through his nightly anxious moments .UPDATE – definitely reducing his nightly anxiety

    The initial reaction to this gift was lovely but the meow became annoying to my elderly mum so I put it on mute. Now it sits on a chair and looks pretty but gets no attention. The product isn’t cuddly and the mechanisms are quite loud but it looks gorgeous and does interact and respond. Sadly in this case it’s become another ornament.

    Bought for Mum ( 98)in care home and she thought it was great fun. All the residents and staff loved seeing it too. I bought ginger one. She always had cats and thinks it’s a good toy. It’s a bit noisy ( you can turn sound off) and the mechanics of it are a bit clunky but good buy

    My Grandson had one of these for Christmas and when I saw this I was so so surprised at what a lovely almost lifelike cat this is and decided I would like one for myself so I went ahead and bought one so as being home and alone this acts as a companion I am absolutely delighted with it. I would recommend this lovely cat to anyone in my position .
