The artistry is absolutely amazing, but the concept is very disturbing. There is something so wrong about these things in my opinion.

These things were soft, had sweet faces, and yes, they inhaled and exhaled. And they gave me goose bumps and not in a good way. I love the sweet smell of baby, the loving purr of cat, the complete trust of a puppy. How can plastic compete with real innocence, warmth, and natural beauty of living, loving babies???

Cats are so over! Creeeeeeeeeepy, very creeeeeeeepy. And these dolls are depriving a generation of children of their whacky aunts, a time-honoured and valuable societal role. Remember Cabbage Patch Mania? or am I showing my age? Yes, I have been keeping an eye on these. Cats are so over! Creeeeeeeeeepy, very creeeeeeeepy.

It was creepy, but also quite poignant. He is purchased to replace the child that a young couple lost & then deserted when they had another human child of their own. A morality tale about technology & humanity and the increasingly blurry line between the 2.
