Blue Kitty Ball Pet Plush Toy Case Pack 1

My son received this as a gift and absolutely LOVED it. He's 2 years old and this blue kitty was his snuggle buddy since he was 1. I don't know why he likes this weird, hard kitty so much but he does. It comes everywhere with us and my son sleeps with it every night. One day, his blue kitty broke and the internal plastic pieces started to poke out so we had to toss it. The kitty is made of plastic internally so you can definitely expect it to break if your kid throws it, kicks it, or treats it like a normal ball. Our original blue kitty broke the first day my husband played with it because he treated it like a basketball. It wasn't opening/closing as securely as before so he was tinkering with the kitty's belly, then out came the plastic pieces. For my son, this blue kitty is a snuggle buddy. This kitty is a friend, not a ball toy. It doesn't endure abuse or rough play. My son treated the blue kitty like a teddy bear and it lasted about 15 months with daily use. He fell in love with it because of how amusing the kitty is to play "peek a boo" with. I originally tried ordering a replacement kitty on Amazon and received kitties that wouldn't even open up. I didn't want to gamble with Amazon again and found the blue kitty on Walmart's website. The blue kitty from Walmart's site is perfect! It opens up well and balls up well. I ended up ordering 2 and will order more backups just in case blue kitty breaks again. Side note, the kitties come shipped in individual (small) boxes so if you order more than one kitty, you'll get more than one shipment. They don't come in the original packaging (which I appreciate, the original package is a pain). For me, this is a 5/5 star purchase. My son cried for days after receiving his first kitty replacement and his eyes lit up so happily when he received a fully functional blue kitty. I'm so happy with this seller and the product. I must admit, I would never recommend this toy to anybody. It's not a great stuffed animal/ball toy. It doesn't withhold abuse. Even as a snuggle buddy, there WILL be somebody who gets rough and will break the toy. Finding a replacement is HARD. DO NOT LET YOUR KID FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS TOY. I URGE YOU TO FIND A MASS PRODUCED TOY THAT IS EASILY REPLACEABLE. Again, 5/5 stars from me due to sentimental reasons. However, avoid at all costs if you have no attachment to this toy. I P.S. I do like this seller quite a bit. They gave a quality product and responded promptly to my messages about the product (I originally received one tracking number with one kitty. They replied within 2 hours to let me know that I would get two separate packages.
