We’re not often doing product reviews on this blog. However, this particular toy cat has been the love of my life (and my daughter’s) for two years now, so that when I came across this article on them, I thought to publish it. It’s one of the few toys that I don’t mind giving nor getting. In fact, last year, our daughter’s Fur Real cat pet got a kitten…
“Fur Real Friends Cat, So Real We Can’t Tell the Difference
By Amanda Isbitt
click on imageFur Real Friends are incredible, sweet and lifelike toys that behave just in the same way that real animals do. The Fur Real Friends cat is a real sweetie, sitting up and lying down just like a real cat would! She responds to being touched and petted by purring and moving much in the same way that a regular pet cat would.
She is capable of moving both her head and neck in all directions, up, down, left and right. Her ears can also move, and her eyes and mouth are capable of opening and closing.
Just like a real cat, she has facial expressions and swishes her tail to convey the emotions that a cat would convey. When you pick her up, she moves her legs in a lifelike way as well.
The Fur Real Friends cat is so real, it’s hard to tell the difference! She’s just the right size to be your perfect companion pet, and loves to play with you and respond to your touches when you pet her. Be careful not to pull her tail, however, as she will hiss at you just like a normal pet cat would!

The Fur Real Friends Cat has sensors in her head that are capable of detecting light, and sensors on her back, stomach and in her tail that detect petting, stroking and tail pulling.
Fur Real Friends Cats are designed to be magical companions and friends that literally spring into life in your arms. These Fur Real Friends are designed to mimic the appearance, demeanor and actions of a real live cat. They feature legs, head, neck and ears that are fully animated.
Eyes and mouth are both capable of opening and closing just like a real cat. Your Fur Real Friends Cat will respond to stroking and petting, changes in the light, and even sounds.
Your Fur Real Friend has lifelike eyes and makes lifelike sounds that closely mimic the experiences you would have with a real pet cat. However, requiring only 3 C batteries, which come included with your Fur Real Friend means owning this kitty is a lot easier on the budget, never mind that it does not have to be cleaned up after!
Are you looking for the perfect gift this holiday season? The Fur Real Pets Friends Cat is recommended for children aged 4 and up.
click on imageBecause the Fur Real Friends Cat includes small and moving parts, older children can typically get more out of the Fur Real Friends Cats than those that are younger. Insert three included C cell batteries and your brand new companion kitty will literally spring to life, offering truly lifelike motions, sounds and responses to your attentions.
These Fur Real Friends make excellent gifts, especially for children experimenting with the idea of taking care of a real live pet sometime in the future. Before you bring home a real kitten or puppy, give your child a shot at caring for their very own Fur Real Friends Cat, which is as close as you can get to the real thing without requiring a litter box!

November 01 2008 | Child Play and Holiday Gift Idea | No Comments »
By Marilyn Bohn
I think GPS systems are the greatest. (Global Position System) I know a few people who definitely need them. A few years ago we had guests driving from California to our home in Utah to stay over night. It was about a ten hour drive. I gave what I thought was excellent instructions and directions so they would not get lost. The night (early morning) my guests were to arrive I woke up at 3:00 a.m. with a start as Maggie hadn’t arrived. (She didn’t follow my directions, instead made up her own). From our place they were driving back to Washington D.C.. Her sister said she was afraid to take a nap because she was afraid she would wake up in Mexico. A GPS in her car will save her hours of frustration and time.
With the holidays arriving GPS is a great idea for all of us to have. The GPS I am talking about is: Great Planning System. By planning ahead we can have a happy stress free, joyous holiday season. Christmas can be one of the most stressful holidays. But with forethought and organization it can be fun and a holiday to look forward to instead of dreading.
First of all we need to decide what it is we want to get from the holidays. Do we want to have big dinners, entertain friends, and attend every function we are invited to, decorate, bake, spend time with family, send out Christmas cards, exchange neighbor gifts, establish traditions, give to charity or do something unique this year?
Once we have our goals in mind then we can move forward.
•Take some time and decide what is important for you to do this year for the holiday. Then write it down, map it out.
•Establish a time frame to accomplish each task. If it isn’t accomplished in the time we thought it would be, no beating up on ourselves or negative self talk. And if it doesn’t get done ask yourself what is the worst that can happen?
•Cook food ahead of time and freeze it. Some pies freeze well as do cookies. Check your recipes to see what else you can make and freeze.
•Plan on delegating. Who can put up the outdoor lights? Who can do the food shopping? Who can help decorate? Get a crew together to share in the fun.
•Plan a specific time to decorate, another to bake, another to deliver gifts—whatever you plan break it up into little jobs, a little at a time.
•If you send out Christmas cards, organize a basket with the cards, addresses and stamps, and then while watching a T.V. show address the envelopes on the commercials. Do cards in November to save time in December. OR Instead of sending cards, call your friends to wish them a Merry Christmas. Long distance calls have become so reasonable it may cost less than sending a card.
•Keep a notebook with the names of those you are giving gifts to. Check off the gift as it is purchased and make a note when it is wrapped and sent. You could do this on a spread sheet if you use the computer.
•If your family will let you mix up your traditions, try a new one, customize to your own personal preference.
Through all the planning remember this is to be a joyous season; don’t get sucked into thinking you have to do it all. Actually you don’t have to do any of it so have fun with what you decide you really want to do.

I came across this very interesting 4-part-article on Halloween, or rather, its pagan root holiday, Samhain, and I thought to feature it here. This article explains us how this special holiday is to teach us how to overcome fear.
This article certainly gives a more comprehensive and soulful meaning to Halloween. It offers interesting stories and good values for you to relay to your children. ((A notch up from orange candy without going organic :-))
Below is the first part of the story…
“At its core, Samhain is about the night when the old God dies and the crone Goddess mourns him deeply for the next six weeks. The popular image of her as the old Halloween hag stirring her cauldron comes from the Celtic belief that all dead souls return to her cauldron of life, death and rebirth to await reincarnation.”
