Pets are highly coveted by most children, however, the same enthusiasm is not often met by parents. Pets can be messy, expensive, and require more attention than some people are prepared to give. They can also cause allergies and may be subject to a variety of temperaments you are not ready to diffuse. Regardless, in any questionable situation, steering away from a real live furry friend is probably the best decision. After breaking the news to your child that their very own Garfield is not on the way, be prepared to meet with disappointment, tears, and the promise that they will take care of it each and every day. To rectify the situation, try substituting a plush cat, one which they can take on their travels and never worry about it running away. With today's technology, its almost as if you have the real thing!
Interactive Cats
Traditional plush cats are filled with lovable fluff and require the child's imagination and a great deal of personification to bring their toy to life. Today, with advancements from the most well-known toy manufacturers, "plush" takes on a while new meaning.
* '''Webkinz''' - Register your furry friend and play with them virtually in the Webkinz World.
* '''FurReal Friends''' - A robotic pet which resembles its real life counterpart in not only looks but by both purring and playing.
