The first time I saw a “lovie,” I thought someone had ripped the filling out of poor stuffed animal. My baby son, however, loved it. He spent hours clutching the little thing, exploring the textures and seams. For a simple toy, the Moncalin Flat Cat Lovie offers lots to explore, including the ears, knotted arms and even — if my son is any indication — the ribbon tag. Right now it’s on sale for $19.99 and available in chocolate and baby blue stripes or chocolate and melon stripes.
