"My cat micah didn't like the purring, so i removed the battery and replaced it with catnip. Now she loves it!"

— Deborah

"My cat wants nothing to do with this. Her companion cat of 15 years died and I thought it might comfort her. It sounds nothing like a purring cat and she shows no interest in it at all. It was a waste of my money."
