We have (now 4.5 months) bought the cat for our daughter - although is still a little too big on the whole for her, but she found the cat just great. The different materials that they can feel and hear and also some what fits in the mouth and thus may be "studied". At first I had some concern Vedas the plastic parts on the ring. They seemed a bit hard and edgy, but our daughter sees it differently and has not been injured. Even the top white ring I find practical, thus the cat can be almost attached anywhere, moored and thus taken. I would highly recommend it.
