FurReal Friends Daisy Plays-With-Me Kitty Toy

Creepy animatronic nightmare-bot. Daughter loves it.
There is a thin coating of fur and cuteness on the outside of this toy, but just beneath the skin it's a whirring, clicking, mewling abomination. My daughter loves it.

There are embedded buttons on the back and one front paw, and some sort of visual sensor in the face of this monstrosity, which when activated, cause it to judder through an approximation of kitty-stretching, kitty-pawing, and kitty spine-hyper-extending. My daughter can't get enough of these activities.

This simulacrum of cuddliness is actually rigid and unyielding, since there is no padding, only an orange and white cover stretched over a skeleton of terror, so the toy is entirely inappropriate for taking to bed -- in addition to being as hard as an unusually terrifying rock, it's prone to lurching into its routine of grinding and clanking and pushing your child out of bed in the middle of the night (there is no "night" mode -- only "on", "off", and "try me," the last of which sounds like a...

4-stars for scaring the living s*** out of me, as it was "meowing" in the box before I even opened it
Appears soft and fluffy but appearances are deceiving
I really wanted to like this toy. It's one of those electronic hybrid toys that tries to be interactive and fun, however, I have some issues with this toy which I would like to share with you.

Pros:
-Interactive nature. Depending on whether you squeeze the right paw, pat it's back, or wave your hand in front of it's face, it will respond with meows, pounces, and other motions
-The meows are really cute, almost sounds like a real cat

Cons:
-The main issue I have with this toy, is it is really rigid and hard. This is definitely not a huggable toy, in that although it looks furry and soft on the outside, it is hard as a rock to hug
-When the toy is moving, it has a strange mechanical sound, which brings up visions of the terminator in my mind, think old school T1 (and not the fluid T2 or T3)
-The cat is not able to move across a surface, the back legs do not move, only the front paws move
