Merry has always been a force of nature, and has always resisted being told what to do. She was the most joy filled person I have ever known, and delighted in being playful and silly! She literally made people smile and laugh – even complete strangers in stores. Alzheimer’s is editing her personality, erasing a lot of the natural effervescent bubbles and adding in a darkness we don’t recognize. She has decided she is moving because she cannot have a cat where she is. So we are trying a Hail Mary pass…

The robotic kitty has an authentic purr that sounds and feels just like real purring. The companion pet cat is able to open and close its eyes, lift its paw, open its mouth and move its head and body. The companion pet cat also has synthetic, soft, brush able fur inspired by real feline breeds. It has built in sensors that make the cat respond to motion and touch.

Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: Merry has decided her furry friend is a girl and has named her Angel!
