Purrfect! My mother has advanced vascular dementia. We have managed to keep her in her own home with the help of carers four time a day. She use to have a little dog but sadly he passed away a couple of years ago and mum wasn't up to caring for another pet. However, we couldn't get her to understand that he had gone and she would keep calling for him. This cat seems to have helped. Although I think she realises this cat isn't real, she loves cuddling it and talks to it. He face lights up when it purrs or meows. Would throughly recommend.
