My mom has latched onto a 3 foot high santa decoration on a stand. I need to find something smaller. The stuffed animals don't work for her.
My husband, a cat lover, had a robotic cat that I gave him for Christmas. He loved it, and most of the time thought it was real. We have a cat which he loved, but she’s not much of a lap cat, so this robotic cat satisfied his desire to hold one.
My son loved a robotic cat that his sister gave him. Since he has been in nursing home I am not sure what he likes because I haven't been able to see him in his room. Just in visiting areas.
