Whether they're new to the family, or perhaps just going through a tough time, the Snuggle Kitty has been designed to provide comfort and helps relieve anxiety in your furry friend. The snuggle kitty recreates that intimacy with physical warmth and a "real-feel" heartbeat. The result is a calmer, more peaceful pet - one that feels less loneliness, fear, and separation anxiety. Snuggle kitty uses a 'real-feel' pulsing heartbeat, the 2 AAA batteries (included) last up to 2 weeks with continuous 24/7 use and the hearts on/off button allows for use when you need it by pressing for 8 hours of use or holding it for 5 seconds to turn continuous mode on/off. Included with your snuggle kitty is one disposable warmer pack (non-toxic, safe for people and pets, each pack lasts 24 hours) for an extra source of comfort for your pet. Snuggle kitty calms your pet by appealing to basic natural instincts without the use of medication. The snuggle kitty is machine washable as well, on a gentle cycle without the heartbeat inside. Snuggle kitty also works amazing with an optional feeding bottle that can stick out from the pouch opening. This soft plush kitty makes a perfect virtual mom.
