Cats are popular pets and many children like them. The calm, balanced nature has an attractive effect on the offspring and even more so the cuddly fur, which invites to stroke. But a cat does not fit into every family. Partly because of the living situation, lack of time or because of an allergy.

So that you can satisfy your child’s longing at least a little, we have put together an overview of the most popular models. Some look lifelike like the animals from NICI, others are more reminiscent of cartoon cats like Garfield. Whether in white or black, you’re sure to find the right cat cuddly toy for your child here. It can become a very good friend and loyal companion and should therefore be of high quality. Then nothing stands in the way of playing with the plush toy cat.

In order for the offspring to enjoy it for a long time, the toy should survive play-intensive afternoons on the playground. So it can be washed and taken back to bed. In this way, your child will enjoy the little plush companion for a long time.

Checklist: The Cat as a Cuddly Toy for Children

For children cuddly toys without sequins and stickers are more suitable.
Intended as a gift for children? It is best to remove the packaging beforehand
Unsure about harmful substances? Washing several times can soften the effect
Rule of thumb: the less there is on or with the cuddly toy, the better
The cuddly toy cat is for small children? Then pay attention to this:
- Remove small parts and labels beforehand
- It is better to do without bows, scarves and leashes – danger of strangulation
