The Weighted Cat 1.3kg – Onyx the Chantilly Cat is a soft and comforting sensory companion designed to provide calming deep pressure input and emotional support. Featuring gentle, evenly distributed weight, Onyx helps promote relaxation, comfort, and emotional regulation throughout the day.

Ideal for both children and adults with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and sensory processing needs, the 1.3kg weight delivers a moderate level of sensory input without the intensity of heavier weighted products. This calming pressure may help reduce feelings of anxiety, encourage self-soothing behaviours, and support relaxation during times of overwhelm, transition, or quiet activities.

Handcrafted with realistic detail, Onyx features long, soft black fur and expressive yellow eyes, creating a soothing companion that feels both comforting and lifelike. The relaxed lying position makes it ideal for lap use, resting across the body, or keeping nearby during reading, therapy, travel, or downtime.
