The perfect holiday gift for kids who love cats, and parents who don't

At some point, most kids want a pet of their own. And, whether you already have a pet or two, or live in an animal-free household, taking on an extra furry creature can be a big challenge.

Luckily, there’s the furReal Cuddlin’ Cara, only $24.64 (at time of publishing) and sold exclusively Walmart.com, a sweet kitty who needs to be fed and cared for like a real kitten — just minus the litter box changes, vet visits, and real responsibility.

She gives your little one many of the perks of a pet without the, err, downsides.

Cuddlin’ Cara is bottle-fed like a baby doll, and she makes adorable slurping sounds while she eats. The bottle also makes realistic swishing sounds, so your child can feel like they’re actually feeding her.

This kitty gets pretty sleepy the more you feed her, and she eventually falls asleep. The adorableness doesn’t end there: Cara makes super-cute sleeping sounds and even snores.

To wake her up, simply remove the bottle from her mouth. Then, her eyes open and she makes happy sounds before playtime. Just like a real kitty, Cuddlin’ Cara makes sweet purring sounds when she’s happy.

Reviewers on Walmart.com are big fans of Cara.

“This kitty is very soft and the bottle it comes with is extra cute,” DaniellesReviews wrote. “My 4-year-old loved it.”

Another reviewer also wrote about how “pretty” Cara is. “Such a sweet little kitty with cute little reactions and sounds,” a reviewer named Mars added.

furReal Cuddlin’ Cara is just $24.64 — an amazingly low price for adding a cuddly new “pet” to your family.
