worst toy ever. Every single part is garbage . Once you're finally able to get the batteries in - it still doesn't even work!

Do not buy
My daughter was so excited for this, but it doesn’t work for longer than one push of the button. The screw is very hard to get out to be able to change the batteries which is frustrating to begin with, but it not working on top of that is why it’s getting a 1 star from me. I had 2 of these as birthday presents and now I feel bad for doing so.

It doesn’t work- doesn’t mimic or make any sounds after putting new batteries in it. My daughter is super disappointed.

The cat it came with is really cute and makes realistic sounds. The stuff that comes with it is just kinda cardboard crap then ends up in the garbage.

Daughter loves it!
Not sure why others are having trouble with it...ours works perfectly! It doesn't come with batteries and you do have to put them in the correct way (2 one direction and 1 opposite), but once we did that my daughter has been happily playing away. She bought it herself with Christmas money. Her only wish was that you could know which animal you would get. I get that it's supposed to be a suprise, but there are ways of doing that so you can scan something if you want to get a particular animal or ignore it if you want the full suprise. Even though she didn't get the dog she hoped for she's still happy with her unicorn. So soft and cute and the voice repeat works great!

Doesnt work
Came in the switched off position, flipped it on and it does nothing. Pushed the button on the paw and still nothing. My son spent his money on this & picked it out for his sister and it was a waste. Glorified stuffed animal is what it is

Complete garbage
After putting the 3 AAA batteries into it as instructed, the animal does NOT repeat anything you say. It doesn’t do anything. Completely broken. We even tried pushing the paw button once and twice like it says on the instructions and nothing. Those first reviews must be fake.

Doesnt work!
Would not buy this it doesn’t say what it does in the directions. I don’t know what all of these fake reviews are, but it doesn’t even work. It’s a crime to even sell it when it doesn’t do what it says on the packaging and on your website.

Fun birthday surprise
Super cute toy that my daughter loved! She was excited to open and see what was inside. The carrying case is cute and she loved playing with the dough to make a cupcake!

Repeats what you say
My daughter loves this, it comes with everything she needed for a pretend adoption celebration. The dough to create the cupcake isn’t sticky at all and she loves that the cat repeats what she says

Great Gift & Toy
This was a birthday gift for a 10 Year old girl. She loved it! It's almost like opening a surprise ball, but in a cage. Super cute and fun for any girl age priced fair.
