Meet Pickles, our therapeutic kitten who is the perfect snuggly companion for all kids — especially our sensory-seeking and anxious friends. His soft, cuddly fur and gently weighted body help melt away stress and support calmer sleep.
Backed by evidence-based research, Pickles the Weighed Cat focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Please note that while Pickles The Weighted Cat is soft and cuddly, she is also a special toy that requires gentle care. To ensure her longevity and safety, we recommend that children handle Pickles with care and that he is not subjected to rough play or washing. While we strive to provide toys that are both durable and lovable, we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur due to improper use. Thank you for your understanding and for giving Pickles the love and attention she deserves.
