Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review: May 2016

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – May/Cat Mom’s Day 2016

May 2016 Box ContentsWhile I have not had the best history with mothers in my life, I can see the love and see how a mothers love is irreplaceable. Due to my shaky history with my own mother I think at times i might over compensate with Maggee and Murfee.

Let me explain a little further to bring some clarity. I was raised from a young age by my father and while I learned many valuable lessons, I did miss my mother. It was made clear early on that my mother wanted nothing to do with me, and while this was hurtful, it ended up being for the best. I did not have an example of a mother, so I base my experience on snippets of mom’s i have seen my life.

At times I think this has worked well, and it really is a broad example base. Recently Jason has made comments and dropped words such as “helicopter” and “smother and mother”. I think during this time of year, as much as I love the moms in my life, I overcompensate with my two cats. Lucky for me they seem to love the love!

It was announced that this months Cat Lady Box would have a “Mothers” theme, and they delivered. To say that each box is “pawsome” is an understatement. Each month is better than the last, (see previous reviews here). The box exterior is printed with the logo in black and is almost a proud announcement of your Cat Lady status. Once the box is open, you are greeted with a black tissue with a sticker enclosing everything in the box. The box is packaged well, and there is space enough that items do not get smooshed and smashed together.

Spring into Kitten Season Giveaway

Assorted Toys and Treats for your Cat – Spring Giveaway

Spring Kitten Giveaway DAUKitten Season is one of my favorite times of the year – I love seeing the local Humane Society’s announcements of kittens finding their forever homes.

Our two cats are products of kitten season. Murfee was found at a day or two old in a big open field, a true miracle he survived. Now we have a healthy, energetic cat that thinks he is a spider monkey at times. Maggee was also a product of kitten season, and born this time of year.

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review – Special Edition Cat Box

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review: Special Edition Cat Box

Special Edition Cat Box ContentsAnybody who knows me in my offline life knows that I love cats. I have had 4 cats in my adult life – Maggee, Murfee, Momar and Sebastian. My cat Momar was a pure bred Birman, and not the friendliest of cats. The belief was that he knew he was gorgeous and that gave him right to be a bit on the temperamental side.

My cat Sebastian was a white deaf odd-eyed boy, that was a young cat when I discovered him in the rain. It was a rainy the day I rescued him and the saddest thing was that he did not know to get out of the rain. I took him to the vet, got him checked out, and learned that he was a feral cat that was a kitten when he was introduced to the outside world. It took some time but what resulted was a friendly and sweet cat that lived to almost 10.

My two cats now are easily as special as Momar and Sebastian were, and I love to spoil them. Each month I review the Dog Pet Treater box, but recently I had the opportuity to review the Special Edition Cat Box!

Triple T Studios Giveaway

Triple T Studios: Kitten Tote Giveaway

Flat bagI am cat fan – I can honestly say that my two little furry creatures are like my children. When I was young I wanted to help all the worlds furry creatures and be a Veterinarian. The day the dream died was the day I realized I would have to put down animals, and decided that I could not see any creature in pain or discomfort. Despite my childhood dream not coming to fruition, the one thing that came out of that wish was a genuine love for cats. I collect cat items, and if Jason would let me I would have more than just Maggee and Murfee in my house.

Since I am unable to have all the cats I want, I show my cat love in my wardrobe choices, and the accessories that I wear. I have wanted a bag that I could be versatile enough for a quick trip out, or a day at a museum and preferably containing a cat.

I was recently introduced to Triple T Studios, and one look on their site, I knew I had found my new favorite website and a new bag. One of the products available on their site is a Kitten Tote that meets the strict requirements I had.

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review: March/Spring 2016

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – March/Spring 2016

Cat Lady Box March-Spring 2016I recently made a discovery – Murfee HATES thunder. We are in the middle of a El Nino style rain here in California and with severe rain also comes thunder and lightning. One night Jason and I were sitting on our couch and we began hearing the tell-tale signs of thunder.

When we least expected it, the thunder clapped and all of a sudden Murfee’s eyes got large and he looked scared. Jason took it upon himself to try and comfort our little man, and out him in his lap. After discovering that this was little help, Jason grabbed a shirt with our scent on it and covered Murf. All of sudden the thunder clapped, and Murfee did not react – he felt secure under a shirt on Jason’s lap.

Cats are unique, and I think that part of our job as humans is to learn to read the signs our animals give us. Jason and I are complete cat people and we always want to learn to be better cat guardians where ever possible – every situation is a learning expierence. I, in particular, am a cat lady and I love to display my pride and love of all things feline.

Each month look forward to receiving a Cat Lady Box as it is the perfect addition to my cat filled life. To say that each box is “pawsome” is an understatement. Each month is better than the last, (see previous reviews here). The box exterior is printed with the logo and is almost a proud announcement of your Cat Lady status. Once the box is open, you are greeted with a black tissue with a sticker enclosing everything in the box. The box is packaged well, and there is space enough that items do not get smooshed and smashed together.

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review and Giveaway – March 2016

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review and Giveaway – March 2016

March Pet Treater BoxAs the months “march” on with Meadow, things are starting to fall into a nice rhythm for my father. I will be honest and say that when my father adopted Meadow I was unsure how he would do with the randomness a 9 week old puppy can bring.

The question has been raised about why I had such a concern. I will be honest and say that I know my father appreciates his sleep and even when I was a child he hated to be woken up. I knew that as Meadow adjusted to her new surroundings there would be an adjustment period for my father as well.

As time is showing us, as Meadow matures, the nighttime wake-up and barking are becoming less and less of an issue. Meadow now sleeps through the night and she does wake up early and wants to be let out, and these are met with smiles and acceptance. I am very happy to say she is becoming a happy and well-behaved best friend for my father.

I will be honest when I say that my favorite time of the month is when I receive the Pet Treater box. I love this time of month because I love to see Meadow’s progress and growth. I only live about 10 minutes from my furry sister, and I love she is so close. I have also learned the longer I am away, the more advanced she seems when I do see her again.

Catzebox Review

Catzebox 1.0 Review and Giveaway

CatzeboxI am a cat lover and especially a lover of my own cats – Maggee and Murfee. I have mentioned it in the past, but Jason and I adopted them from our local Humane Society. We count this decision as one of the top ones we have made as a couple.

We often talk about what attracted us to each of the cats. Murfee was only a day old when he was found in the middle of an empty field alone (I have said it in the past, and will say again, it is a miracle he survived). The day that we happened to meet him at the shelter, was the day after he was neutered and he was lethargic and tiny! Despite being in pain (they had to give him pain medication – poor thing!), he still wanted to play with us through the cage. I loved this about him, and I knew that he was our cat.

Maggee on the flip side had been taken care of by many people, unable to find a forever home. Our little girl likes to play, and when she opens her mouth, many would think bite – she plays – they cited aggression issues. Jason and I were undeterred and we asked to take her in to the room so that we could get to know her – she jumped into each of our laps, and that was that – she was ours.

Despite the difference in their upbringing, they common thread between them is they are playful kitties – even at almost 4 years old and 3.5 years old. It is easy to get Maggee excited and while Murfee takes a bit to get excited, when he does watch out for claws. Since they are so playful, we are always looking for ways to burn their immense amount of energy, so when I saw the Catzebox, I knew they would love it!

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review – February 2016

Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review and Giveaway – February 2016

February 2016 Pet Treater BoxI was raised by a single father and I have always been the princess in the family – that was up until about 3 months ago. We had a new family member join our family that has taken the role of princess.

The addition I am referring to is of Meadow, my father’s Australian Laberdoodle. I am lucky that i live only about 10 minutes from the newly crowned girl. I love to give her toys and watch her excitement – what strikes me each time is many times she has not idea what I am about to give her but her excitement says otherwise. A box that allows me to give her these presents she so deserves is Pet Treater. It is obvious when you receive a Pet Treater box that they are continuing to distinguishing themselves in the pet box field.

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review: January 2016

Cat Lady Box Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – January 2016

January 2016 Box ContentsJason and I love our cats, there is no denying this. If you were to pick up either of our phones there are more cat photos than human photos.

Our cats are these big personalities packed in little bodies. Murfee has a personality that mirrors my personality and Maggee mirrors Jason. Jason can roll with the punches, and is always calm and that describes our Maggee perfectly. Murfee is always on alert and jumps when he hears a loud noise – just like his human momma.

We have a lot of fun around here dissecting their personalities and comparing them to each of us and wondering what we are accurate about and what is just dreaming. We think they know their names, but really they know their tones, but I swear when they come up to us, they are conveying pure love. I am proud to be a cat mom to these two awesome little creatures, and tell them so each day.

This months Cat Lady Box was an ode to the “cat lady”. Each month the box is wonderfully put together and is “absolutely pawsome”. I say it every month and each month I mean it, each month it is just as good as the previous month, (see previous reviews here). The box exterior continues with the new box design and looked different then the previous printed and stamped versions. I loved being greeted by the black tissue paper and sticker, as I unfurled my package I was filled with excitement!

Pet Gift Box: Cat Subscription Box – January 2016 Review

 

Pet Gift Box – Cat – Subscription Box – January 2016 Review

January 2016 Tail-gate party

 

There is no denying that we are a football home. From our San Diego Charger themed decorations to what team we root for. I never imagined that I would care much about football much less about what the result of the Super Bowl turns out to be. The big news for San Diego fans is that despite much concern, many comments and discussions to the contrary, the Chargers will be in San Diego for the 2016 season. This came as a collective exhale from the cities residents, and while 2016 is figured out, the future is still up in air for the Chargers.

Since I was in San Diego, the NFL Owners was shown and updated – this put me on edge until the end. The unintended result was that the stress i was feeling was passed on to the cats. I did not realize the undo stress they were also feeling while i was on edge. It got me thinking that despite my excitement, at times the yelling “touchdown” and the screaming about an interception can cause animals undo stress due to not knowing if the yelling is at them or the box in front of them.

Despite the momentary fear that I might put in the cats, I am still a yelling proud San Diego Fan. In this months PetGiftBox they celebrate that pigskin tradition that is celebrated over 16 Sunday’s a year.
