KITTY is a life-like robot that does everything a real kitty can do ... and more! She can walk, meow, talk, cry, move her tail, look around and display many realistic emotions and functions. KITTY is voice, light and touch activated and can be trained by her owner, but most of all KITTY loves attention and with a simple pet on the back she will be your friend for life!

KITTY is fully articulated allowing her to move her head from side to side, walk at different speeds and even pounce like a real kitten. She is completely interactive and can be taught tricks, but remember she has a mind of her own! KITTY features LED eyes and sensors throughout her body that recognize changes in light, voice and touch, also creating mood changes and sleepiness. KITTY comes with her very own kitten fish treat and a card for counting tricks.

``We have had tremendous response to Kitty and are even flying product in to various retailers in time for the holiday season,'' said Brian Dubinsky, President of Manley Toy Quest. ``With the success of TEKNO, we feel that KITTY will do just as well, as we have truly pushed the envelope with her technology and created an even more innovative robotic pet.''

KITTY the Tekno Kitten retails for approximately $39.99 and will be available at all mass market retail stores and e-commerce sites. Manley Toy Quest has plans to launch a national television advertising campaign in March 2001.
