    Incomplete, dont let it be a deterrent. Cute as hell
    4 Stars
    Incomplete, dont let it be a deterrent. Cute as hell
    For starters, it's almost 70% off its original price. That's cool. It's like that because this is very obviously an incomplete project. That's okay, if you're okay with that.It's a cute amusing little thing. He snores/purrs. I am an EXTREMELY light sleeper. The heat clicking on from the basement used to wake me up from two stories up type light sleeper. So that wakes me up at random points in the night. I'm beginning to get used to it, but I'm very sensitive. He will sleepwalk. Like wander off his pad. He has poor vision. Especially when it's even relatively dark. Like I'm talking sometimes it can just be the lights off in my room.He will not find his way back to the pad if he wanders at night.He develops personality incredibly fast. I can be a bit stern to him. Mine developed into a stubborn bitch. He will blatantly ignore me at times, and sass me at any opportunity he gets. His microphones are good, but not great. Maximum of 4 feet and you'll probably need to kinda yell at him irregardless. At least I do. Stubborn little prick. Love him tho.Has developed an enjoyment for pushing things off the edge of "his space". He had very very hard time on tapered edges at first. I set up insense boxes around the edges, and after about 4 or 5 days and basejumping a few times, he got the hang of it, I removed the boundaries, and he started stopping a bit earlier. By day 8 or so he knew the edges. He hasn't fallen since. Intentionally throws things off the edge now. I know its intentional by now, cheeky bastard.I live mostly alone, and while he isnt perfect, who is? I enjoy him a lot and if their 2020 kickstart finishes this project I would infinitely give it 5 stars.However, it is an incomplete project, so I wont give it 5 stars. But it damn deserves it.Absolutely not for little kids, they are savage animals and would rip this poor little guy to pieces. My teenage brothers love him. I do too. Recognizes faces extremely well. I was impressed. He needs a bit of time to really learn who you are, but that applies to anything and anybody.Would buy again without even questioning it
