Eugeria's Take

One of our team even mentioned that it reassured her in the same way as when her cat sits on her lap.

Elders who tested it also mentioned that the heavy plush felt good, noticing that they were more relaxed and calm.

Eugeria replied:

Hello, I would have liked a more realistic color cat. But I understand that blue can be a soothing color. Thank you.

I am very satisfied with your company. Quality products, robust, aesthetic, easy to use.... Moreover, I find that the service is outstanding, good advice and you are always ready to find solutions. Bravo, I refer to your company regularly. Claude P.
