Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just ordered a 2nd one as backup in case of problem with original. Ordered a month ago for my twin sister who is suffering from dementia. She lives alone in her home with the assistance of part-time caregivers. In the last 6 months a neighbors cat has been spending much of the day with her and the caregivers remarked on the positive change this made in her life. The cat belongs to a neighbors little girl and her father recently talked with the caregiver and told her that my sister was welcome to have the cat during the day but her little girl was very attached to the cat and he worried that my sister might have to leave her house and try to take the cat with her. I felt I needed to intervene in some way. Perhaps the kind of robot that I'd been reading about would help. The choice between the $6,000 therapeutic seal from Japan and $100 Orange Tabby was an easy one to make! My sister bonded with the Orange Tabby instantly. Loves and nurtures and feeds it. Shares more with the people around her. Imputing much of her life history (scattered memories) to the cat and verbalizing these to the cat saying she understands the cats' past life. All far more than I could ever have hoped for.
