Dear Brother and Sister-in-law, It was early on black Friday when Ryan and I entered the Target toy aisle. It was crowded. We were looking around when I saw it. It was the perfect gift for your daughter, my 4 y/o niece. I picked it up and it looked at me. I jumped a little. A lady near me looked at me questioningly. I said, “It is disturbing, but it won’t be at my house”. She smiled a knowing smile. I put it in the cart. It continued to look at me and occasionally meow. Later, in the minivan, it continued to “meow” around every corner. Every corner for 5 days since I forgot to take it out of the back. It freaks out adults, but enchants children. It is the Fur Real Kitty Cat. Here is a sneak peak at my generosity: The toy has a very disturbing Pet Sematary vibe… …which is only worsened by the “I really ‘come to life’” tag line. I had no idea that Stephen King was now designing toys. Sweet dreams. Lovingly, Holly

  1. Ooh, very creepy… but all too familiar. We have two Fur Real pets in our house. One bunny and one cat. Only, the cat we got from the Goodwill, and one of it’s eyes doesn’t close all the way. Sometimes it reminds me of a pet version of Chukky.

  2. Love it!

    I worked really hard before I had my kids not to get my niece and nephew loud, scary, annoying toys because I knew one day I’d have kids of my own and my sister would be able to get me back. She obviously forgot about that because she gets my kids every loud, annoying, scary toy there is. Now it is no holds bar at Christmas and birthdays!

  3. Remember those huge Kermit the Frog dolls at Macy’s about four years ago? An aunt gave us one. Pinch his hand and he says “has anybody seen Miss Piggy?” and four other things. I heard one of the other things in the middle of the night once, doing a child check, and stepped on Kermie’s hand. He went “YAAAYYYYY” as only Kermie can do. Time for a clothing change for Mommy.

    Thanks for the laugh, Holly!

  4. Tilly is a Cat-a-holic…we already have 4 or 5 meowing kitties and several “teachable” dogs, too. This year the nice quiet American Girl dolls are requested…and Snorkie wants
    Wall-e…I can handle that one.

  5. Okay, dolls freak me out enough. I couldn’t sleep with that thing in the house. That’s a horror movie just waiting to happen.

    Dear god, make it stop. {{{{{shudders}}}}}

  6. Ah…the creepy cat…we have been fighting that particular battle for over a year now. Why do we need it if we have a real one?

    My biggest battle was with a Furbie. One night, it was oh about 3am, Furbie woke up and kept saying, “I scared, I scared”. I thought it was one of my kids so I went racing out of bed only to find Furbie yammering on and on. I looked at Furbie, said “You really should be scared…” and ripped the batteries out of him and threw them away. Which makes me a Furbie murderer. But I don’t care, he had it coming to him.

  7. Oh. My. G-d. That is the funniest thing…wonder if they’ll do a dog, too, and we can really play Pet Sematary together?

  8. Wow. Chills. (Oh, wait – that’s cuz my office is FREEZING!)

    There are some baby dolls that coo when you touch or move them – they freaked out my 1yo at Target the other day. Disturbing trend! DISTURBING!

  9. That is one freaky cat.

    I may seriously get it for my husband- he’s pestering me for another pet and that’s as close as he’s gonna get.
