Joy For All 'Living Cat' - Tuxedo

Soothing and comforting, Tuxedo makes a unique companion for anyone who is unable to look after the real thing.

Especially recommended for anyone living with a dementia.

Researchers studying the effects of robotic pets on people living with a dementia found:

'companion cats enhance the well-being and quality of life of individuals with dementia living in a long-term care facility by providing companionship and interaction with their environment, which helps to reduce anxiety and agitation.' They also found that 'introduction of the cat would prompt an overwhelmingly positive response welcoming the cat with a change in posture and effect.' 'Upon stimulation of the cat, the participants would have increased acknowledgement, interaction and positive regard towards the cat.' James Madison University (12.12.2018)

No shedding fur, no messy pet bowls and allergy-free!
