my daughter likes that its a cat, and that is it [SEP] i am lucky that for the most part, my daughter lets me brush her hair, I know other kids have a tough time with this, I ordered this for her stocking because I thought she would like the kitty and having her own hairbrush. Well, it's not easier on tangles, it's not easy to hold and the bristles are very pokey. she still prefers to use my hairbrush. but she loves to play with the cat in her dollhouse so there is that I guess.
