Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Webkinz pets are very special plush animals. Each Webkinz pet comes with a secret code that allows the owner to log into the website and adopt a virtual version of their pet. With this code as their key, children can join Webkinz World without giving out any personal information such as e-mail, last name or phone number.

Product Description

Webkinz features the exciting online experience where your plush pet comes to life! It all begins when you bring your Webkinz plush toy home, and you pick the name and determine whether it's a boy or a girl. After adoption, you are shown your pet's room, and can use your 2,000 in KinzCash to decorate, buy furniture, clothes and food from the W Shop. Your pet relies on you to take care of it by monitoring the Happy, Health and Hunger meters. Webkinz received the 2006 iParenting Media Award and 2007 Toy of the Year (TOTY). Measures 10". Not recommended for children under 3.

All three of my children just love Webkinz. They love the adorable little stuffed animals, and they really enjoy using the code to access the Webkinz website and play together online. With Christmas coming up, my wife and I wanted to purchase a Webkinz for each one of our children, as a stocking stuffer. My youngest daughter adores cats, so when my wife and I found the Webkinz Himalayan Cat here on Amazon, we just knew our daughter would love it.

Now then, I would like to ask you to look carefully at the picture posted here on the Amazon product page. Notice how fluffy and cute this cat looks. Now, please take a look at the product picture that I posted in the "Customer Images". This is what my wife and I actually received in the mail from the retailer. Now ask yourself, does that look even moderately cute? The Webkinz Himalayan Cat we received looks like some sort of possessed junkyard cat! The hair is all stringy and tangled, the tail is not fluffy at all, and the overall feel of the cat is not even moderately soft. My wife feels that she can somehow comb out all of the knots and tangles, so she doesn't want me to send it back for a refund. I sure hope she can make this cat look far better than it did when it arrived, because I definately will not give this item to my daughter the way it looks now. It is honestly one of the ugliest, scariest looking stuffed animals I have ever seem in my life!

I am still giving this toy two stars, because of the included tag that has a code for accessing the Webkinz website. The animal itself may be an ugly mess, but at least my daughter will get a code to enjoy a year of playing with a virtual pet on Webkinz. I feel that the makers of these Webkinz animals should package them in some sort of box or other package, which would prevent the hair from getting so matted and tangled in the stores and during shipping.

So in the end I guess we are keeping the Webkinz Himalayan Cat, at least for the use of the Webkinz access code. However, I would certainly not purchase this particular animal again, and I do not recommend it to anyone. If you think the product photo of the Himalayan Cat looks cute, as my wife and I did, be warned that there is a good chance you will be getting something that looks more like the customer image photo I have posted. Webkinz produces some very cute animals, and there are a lot of better choices than this cat. =o(

The Webkinz Himalayan Cat was worth the purchase. My daughter loves it. She really wanted this cat and takes it everywhere with her. I would recommend this Webkinz.

Great product, very fast delivery and it came with the sought after "secret code" so you can register it on-line and adopt the pet and play interactive games and activities. I couldn't have asked for more.
