Hi, your input would be most appreciated.

Is it grammatically correct to say "With regards to the toy cat, it’s too realistic for my liking."  or is it "In regards to..."?

Thanks,
Cami

It should be 'with  regard to' and  'in regard to'.

If you use 'regards', it should be 'As regards".

However, how do we decide which one of them is more appropriate ??? or is it that no matter what the content of senetnce or hoiw it is constructed, both of them can be applied ?

How few Americans know the difference. "In regards" is vulgar and incorrect.
