The toys seek to emulate the behaviors of common pets, including horses, cats, rabbits and dogs.

As of 2023, furReal toys' features can include mimicking eating, sleeping, urinating and defecating, as well as walking, grooming, playing music, making sounds and lighting up.

When sat upon, Butterscotch would "move her head up and down, blink her eyes, and twitch her ears while making soft sounds," according to the toy's manual.
