Talking Merv Plush (9in)

Came for the cat, stayed for the cause—10% going to the Pasadena Humane Society makes this an easy purchase. The plush is soft enough to hug and the paw button's meow is surprisingly clear for a 9-inch toy.

The little button on Merv's paw lets out a surprisingly clear meow—my cat perks up every time she hears it. Soft fur and a calm expression make this plush feel like a genuine companion, and knowing part of the purchase helps animals too is a nice bonus.

Merv is a perfect little desk buddy, and the fact that 10% goes to the Pasadena Humane Society makes the purchase feel even better. He's soft enough to squish during a stressful work call, and the 9-inch size sits nicely on my monitor stand without getting in the way.
