Grad Scores With Invention Of Purring Toy


Athens Banner-Herald:

When former Jefferson resident Vivian Hoard was working “24/7″ as a tax litigator for a large Atlanta law firm, she often came home at night to a sleeping family, but she always could rely on the family cat, Ludwig, to sit in her lap and purr contentedly.

“When I’d come home at all hours of the night, the cat would snuggle in my lap and purr very, very softly,” says Hoard. “He would help me unwind after a long day.”

Unfortunately, Ludwig is gone now, but Hoard’s memories of how her favorite feline helped her to relax never went away. Realizing that many people who could benefit from a cat’s soothing influence can’t be pet owners due to allergies or other issues, Hoard launched a four-year journey to create the next best thing to the real kitty.

After extensive research into the bond between humans and animals, the trials and travails of having an idea patented and large-scale manufacturing, Hoard created Catnap Kitties, a battery-operated “comfort toy” that offers the sensation of holding a real cat (minus realities of food and kitty litter).

  • That is such a cute and touching story…and very true! you can alway’s rely on the family pet…especially cat’s. i have 3 cats and they can alway’s tell when i need a little attention and they come up to me every time and snuggle with me for hour’s just lying there. That pet is a great idea.

  • what a very interesting story,from a real cat and now it was already a toy wich we can buy now in the market, and if your allergy to cat then you have a choice now to have a remote toy cat made by Hoard!
