The 10 Best Robot Cats | Top 10 Kids Toys

This review has been updated 7 times since it was first published in July of 2019. There’s nothing as heartwarming as having an adorable kitty climb into your lap and start purring. If you can’t keep a cat in your home, though, you might want to consider getting a robot version instead. These selections look, sound, and act like the real thing — without tearing up the furniture, covering you in hair and dander, or any of the other annoying aspects of pet ownership.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Sphero Mini Blue

Available with a range of interchangeable, colorful shells to suit your mood, the Sphero Mini Blue is a palm-sized orb that you can maneuver around tiny cones to test your skills, or have a little team fun trying to get a strike playing a miniature game of bowling.

9. Smalody Walking

The Smalody Walking (appx. $30) does more than just potter around the house, it will also jump and meow when you approach it and clap. Combine that with its incredibly soft fur, and you have the perfect stress reliever to come home to after a long day at work or school.

8. Zoomer Bella

You get almost everything with the Zoomer Bella (about $215) that you’d want in a flesh-and-blood mouser, including a collar and a kitty toy. She has two modes, one for playing and another for cuddling — or you can just give her some catnip and watch her go crazy.

7. FurReal Daisy Plays-With-Me

You can let your kids have a trial run at pet ownership, thanks to the FurReal Daisy Plays-With-Me (around $75). She enjoys mealtimes and having fun, just like a real animal, and even comes with a care guide. If your children can treat her right, they may be ready.

6. Marsjoy Interactive

The Marsjoy Interactive (appx. $26) isn’t the most feature-filled offering, as it offers only a sparse array of actions. It is extremely soft, though, making it one of the most fun to snuggle with — and isn’t that 90 percent of the appeal of a real cat anyway?

5. Roarin’ Tyler

Let your kids unleash the beast inside Roarin’ Tyler (around $94). When children make other sounds at him, this adorable wild cat roars back at them. Luckily, he’ll never outgrow his cute phase, nor will he get big enough to start imagining what you might taste like.

4. Zoomer Meowzies Viola

Just like a real cat, the Zoomer Meowzies Viola (about $33) is happiest when receiving lots of love and attention from you. Unlike an actual feline, though, she won’t roll over and claw you to shreds when she arbitrarily decides she’s had enough.

3. Flurry, My Baby Snow Leopard

If you’ve always wanted an exotic pet, give the Flurry, My Baby Snow Leopard (around $44) a try. Capable of over 45 sound and motion combinations, it’s as close as you’ll ever get to hugging a wild animal — and you’ll even get to keep all your internal organs, to boot.

2. FurReal Bootsie Interactive

The FurReal Bootsie Interactive (around $50) comes with a treat that you can touch to her mouth to change her mood and expressions. If you tap on her twice, though, she’ll get cranky. Luckily, this kitty won’t get back at you by leaving a dead mouse in your shoe.

1. Joy for All Orange Tabby

The Joy for All Orange Tabby (appx. $94) uses something called “VibraPurr” technology to mimic the way an actual cat sounds and feels. It is equipped with sensors that cause it to respond to actions like hugs and strokes, making it as close as you can get to the real thing.
