Cute Catty

The Cute Catty by SpeechGears is an adorable yet highly functional oral motor tool designed to support children's sensory and developmental needs. Shaped like a friendly cat, this sensory chew toy combines a playful aesthetic with professional-grade therapeutic benefits. Whether your child is an infant seeking teething relief or an older child with oral-seeking behaviors, the Cute Catty provides a safe, durable, and effective way to explore textures and build oral strength.

Key Features

• Functional Cat Shape: The "ears" and "tail" of the cat are specifically designed to reach the back molars, providing deep sensory input where children need it most.
• 100% Medical-Grade Silicone: Safety is our top priority. The Cute Catty is made from non-toxic, food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, Phthalate-free, and Latex-free.
• Easy-to-Grip Body: The hollowed-out center makes it incredibly easy for small hands to hold, promoting independent use and fine motor coordination.
• Tactile Textures: The surface features various textures that provide diverse sensory feedback, helping to stimulate the mouth and gums effectively.

Key Benefits

• Promotes Self-Regulation: For children with Autism (ASD), ADHD, or Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), the act of chewing on the Cute Catty helps calm the nervous system and improves focus during school or therapy.
• Strengthens Jaw Muscles: Biting and chewing on the resilient silicone helps develop the jaw stability and grading necessary for speech clarity and advanced feeding skills.
• Soothes Teething Discomfort: The firm but flexible texture provides immediate relief for babies with sore gums, helping them navigate the teething phase with less fussiness.
• Safe Alternative for Sensory Seekers: Redirects children away from chewing on unhealthy items like fingers, clothing, or plastic toys, offering a more hygienic solution.

How to Use

• For Infants: Give the Cute Catty to your baby to use as a traditional teether. The various edges will help massage gums as new teeth emerge.
• For Oral Therapy: Encourage the child to place the cat's "ears" between their side molars and practice biting down to improve jaw strength.
• For Focus: Allow the child to hold and chew on the tool during quiet time, reading, or classroom activities to help them stay grounded and attentive.
• Cleaning: Wash with warm water and mild soap after use. The Cute Catty is top-rack dishwasher safe and can be sterilized for maximum hygiene.
