Customer Reviews

Didn't work that well
Although my son enjoyed this toy in the hour after he opened it, he has hardly played with it since. Plugged into the MP3 player, it wasn't loud enough to hear. With a CD player, we could hear it, but the sound was terrible. It is a cute idea, but not well executed.

Purrfect for the office
I purchased two of these kitties after seeing the I-dog in action for a co-worker. They are so cute! My Ipod works well with it, only down fall is that the audio is very low. Its not too bad since I use it at work and I dont' want the audio too loud either. For a cute toy, its worth the money. I also got one as a gift for my sister, she loves her's too.

Really cute and fun!
I received this for Christmas yesterday (12/24/07). I found it to be a cute, fun little toy that even grown ups would enjoy. I've read other reviews complaining about how hard it is to shut it off. I've had no problems with that. You just hold down the nose button for 2 seconds. The i-cat will make a shut off noise, wiggle its head, then turn off. For those who say it's loud and annoying and won't shut up, you can tap the tail switch, and it will go in silent mode for 5 minutes (but the i-cat will growl at you for doing it, which I thought was funny). While the i-cat is on, if you don't use it for an hour, it will shut off automatically. It purrs when you touch the sensors under its ears. I've found the volume to be a little low when using my mp3 player with it, but when I plugged it into my portable CD player, the volume was much higher. I guess it depends on what listening device you use. The i-cat also reacts to music played from an outside source, like a stereo. It wiggles its ears, moves its head, and displays a cute light show. It even reacted to the sounds on my TV! The copy cat game (a bit like Simon) is fun to try.
All in all, I'd say it's a nice little music accessory.
