I knew that once the little man figured out how to make his arms/hands and legs/feet work together, there would be no stopping him. And, for the past few weeks, that’s exactly what has happened.
He’s figured out how to get up on all fours and rock back and forth, launching himself forward at times. But mostly he’s masters the military crawl. I’m sure soon he’ll realize that if he keeps his belly off the ground that he’ll be able to move a lot faster and will less effort. But I’m not going to tell him that. And neither will you! Seriously. Zip it!
To keep my little cruiser entertained (and distracted from attacking the dog) these days, he’s been enjoying the company of the VTech Catch Me Kitty!
With a sensor located in it’s bow tie (front) and another located near it’s tail, there’s no sneaking up on this kitty! Once it senses your little one is near, it is off scooting around the floor, encouraging him to chase after it. Think Roomba but less cleaning and more cuteness and catchy little tunes!
Talon just thinks the Catch Me Kitty is a riot. He squeals every time the kitty zooms past him and then scoots along behind it. If your little one is lucky enough to catch the Kittty, he will have loads of fun (and learning) pushing the shape buttons located on the Kitty. This makes the Catch Me Kitty a great toy that will grow with your baby. And reiterates what VTech Toys is all about — learning and fun!
Not only is the Catch Me Kitty great entertainment for Talon, but his older sisters have taken a liking to it too! Amazes me that, despite the numerous toys these girls have, they think a baby toy is “AWESOME!” Jasper though (the dog), he’s not so sure how awesome it is. He’s very intrigued by the Catch Me Kitty and will bounce around it as it zooms around the house but is less than thrilled when the Kitty scoots underneath his long legs. I happen to think it is Hi-Larious! And it provides me with countless entertainment throughout the day. Priceless in my book!
But speaking of price, the Catch Me Kitty retails for $19.99 and the manufacture suggested age for this toy is 12-18months. My personal thought…Talon is just 6 months and I think it’s a great toy for him. However, I do keep an eye on him while playing with it to make sure he doesn’t pick it up because he’s not quite strong enough to hold on to it and I don’t want it to bump him. Just like with any toy, you need to use your parental discretion to decide whether a toy is appropriate for your child.

I would LOVE to save this for my nephew. He’s 4 months now, but at Christmas this would be perfect for him!
This would be great for my niece!
My 14 month old would love this and im sure my newborn son would also love playing with it when he is old enough
My 1st daughter was 8 months old when she crawled. My son was 10 months old, and my baby girl is almost 7 months and getting close. She would love this kitty!!!

this would be a wonderful toy for my nieces daughter
My 9 mth old son, Greyson, is army crawling all over the house. He, too, hasn’t figured out how to work those little arms and legs to begin crawling. I think he is a little lazy and this would be a great toy for him!
Would love to give this to my best friend Christina, she is having her 1st baby girl this november! We are all very excited for her arrival. I love cats, we have three and it would be an very appropiate gift from Aunt Rachel
My little guy started crawling at 7 months, walking at 9.5 months and is just go go go now but LOVES anything with kitties! I’ve never seen this toy in all my wanderings through the toy aisles, it’s so cute!!!!!!! Must find one now, unless you wanna just give me the one you have laying around
My daughter started to scoot and crawl around 7 months!
I’d give this to my little cousin. She wants a kitty so bad and due to allergies, it’s not an option. I think I just found a solution!

We buy the grand-kids V-tech for all occasions, they love them.
My neice has a 4 1/2month old who has had multiple surgerys for hydroencephalitus already, he almost died twice so far, but hes a champ and as his aunt im soo proud of his fighting spirit, im sure he would LOVEthis !,as im sure it would help him develop skills and get him moving even faster than the doctors say possible. We all know hes here to prove them wrong. It would be a great gift for him.
I would LOVE it for my little man. He is 7mo and he just figured out how to go forward like a week ago. Right now I use a ball to get him to go forward but this would be great to stop him from going after the dogs too!
I think my daughter was 5 months. My daughter is 2 and 1/2 now and I have one on the way. They would love that kitty toy.

My little man mastered the military crawl when he turned six months. Now he is eight months and crawling. He tries his best to keep up with his five year old sister. This kitty would give him some practice to work on his speed.
My 2 year old started around 6 months crawling and she was on the go, now a I have a 4 month old that is in a hurry to grow because when we lay her on her stomach she is kicking like she wants to go and keep up with her sister, since her older sister tells her “baby look” and she starts crawling
. I would love this great toy!
My oldest daughter, Isabelle who is 9yrs old now started to crawl at 8months old, My daughter Madison who is now 4yrs old, crawled at 7months old, and my son Brayden who has developmental needs crawled at 11 months old, he is now 2yrs old. And now we have another baby boy on the way due December 30th!

My son just started crawling at 6 1/2 months. He would love this, his sister just started preK and he is missing her, this would give him something else to chase when she is at school!
My baby is almost 8mths and she is sooo close to crawling
My son is 10 months old now and has been crawling for about 2 and a half months now. We inherited an orphaned kitten that is about 6 weeks old now that he chases all over the house, and though she is a good sport, this would be nice to give her a break!

Our baby will be here in November, so we’ll see how early she starts to crawl. I think I’d share the kitty with my niece first, who is 8 months old and just getting started at crawling.
