NEW YORK -- Feb. 11, 2002 -- What Tiger did for dogs, it now does for cats!
FurReal Friends(TM) is Tiger's magical line of electronic plush cats that, when stimulated by touch, convincingly duplicate and mimic mannerisms unique to a "real" cat through lifelike organic movements and sounds.
Each FurReal Friends(TM) cat has intelligent sensors located on its upper back, lower back, tail, one on each side of the head and one between the ears that detects light and dark.
Each of the sensors is strategically placed to induce a natural interaction between owner and cat. FurReal Friends(TM) cats offer high-tech electronic applications such as organic skeleton, motors and digital touch sensors. FurReal Friends(TM) cats are animated from top of head to tip of tail, including mouth and neck.
FurReal Friends(TM) cats have 3 different mood modes: Cuddly, Playful and Irritable. The Cat enters these modes depending on how the owner interacts with it. Scratch the cat's cheek and hear a loving purr as it leans into your hand. Pet its fur and watch it arch its back - it even loves to be brushed! Just don't grab its tail or you'll make it irritable!
"Tiger's track record of bringing affordable, cutting-edge technology to the toy world continues with this exciting line of realistic cats," said Duncan Billing, General Manager of Tiger Electronics(TM). "We are excited about FurReal Friends(TM) because this wonderful breakthrough use of technology seemingly lets us bring a toy cat to life."
FurReal Friends(TM) come in three different colors: gray with gold eyes, white with blue eyes and marmalade with green eyes.
FurReal Friends(TM) offer interactive companionship, ownership, entertainment, and a sense of love, affection and intimacy. Now you can have a magical lifelike companion to share all your secrets with; one who will respond to your touch and grow with you developing an everlasting bond. Only FurReal Friends(TM) cats are so amazingly close to the real thing you won't even know the difference! Ages 6 and up. Suggested retail: $34.99; Available: Fall 2002.
