Cat Lady Monthly Subscription Box Review and GiveawayAs many of my regular readers will know I am a feline fan. I refer to my 2 feline friends as “The Muggles” and like many owners my phone is full of cat pictures that show their unique and one of a kind personalities. Many people will dispute that cats have facial expressions and to many people if they have seen one, they have seen them all. Since I am review blogger my cats are my writing buddies during the day so I spend many hours with them.

In the past I have been referred to as a “Crazy Cat Lady” due to my love, and slight obsessive nature when it comes to photographs of the cats. I have always found this description offensive due to the fact that just because I love my animals unconditionally does not make me “crazy”. Due to the love I have for the feline species I am also a collector of cat items. I am always on the lookout for something new and cute to add to my collection. In my search I discovered Cat Lady Box.

Cat Lady Box was started with the belief that just because we are cat lovers that does not make us crazy. The goal is to change the perception of what it is to be a crazy cat lady. The premise behind Cat Lady Box is that each month you are sent anywhere from 2-5 items, depending on your box choice. The Cat Lady Box comes with 2-3 cat themed items for humans and the Crazy Cat Lady Box has the items in the 1st box plus 2 surprises for your feline friend(s).

I received the July 2015 box and could not have been happier with the contents (which I will be listing in detail below). There are a couple things that set this box apart from other boxes in the subscription box field. The first thing that sets them apart is that not only did they include a postcard manifest but a letter that gives a little back story on each item contained in the box. The second thing that I think sets them apart is the accessibility of the owner and creator. In the letter the owner invites subscribers to email her, and she will personally respond to each inquiry. I can attest that this is true, I have had a very nice correspondence while preparing this review with her.

The third thing that I think Cat Lady Box does is that it picks quality, thoughtful and unique items for the box. This box is not just a box of kitschy cat items, it a box that you and your cat can enjoy. As an example, this month I received the following in the “Crazy Cat Lady” box:

Pet Gift Box – Cat – Subscription Box – July Review

Fitness is not a world that is used often around this house, unless it is in direct relation to our cats. We have made the choice to keep our cats as indoor cats, therefore fitness and nutrition are even more important than if they were outside playing all day.

We are always looking for ways for them to do what we call “the magic three” which are hunt, eat and sleep. The idea is that they hunt their prey (or toy) and once they have gotten it, we feed them a treat or wet food (or direct them to their dry food) so they can “eat” their kill and then they fall asleep from the hunt. We look for toys that will encourage that and support that behavior in the Muggles.

Knob Goblin – $5.99: This toy attached to a door knob or handle. This toy has a great springing ability and has a noise rattle inside that gives the cats even more reason to attack the toy. I think the reason that Murfee loved it so much is because of the included catnip – he loves catnip!

Swat N’ Bobble Octopus – $5.99: This silly looking faced toy has a suction cup that attached to many different surfaces (I attached it to my wood floor, sliding glass window and wood cabinet siding). The downside is that if your cat is a ferocious player like our cats then they will inevitably knock the toy down, thus ending the fun for them. After I put the suction cup where I wanted it I just put two small pieces of tape on the side to hold in place. Bonus for my catnip loving boy Murfee because cat nip is included in this toy.

Pet Gift Box – Cat – Subscription Box – June Review

I remember the first time I heard of dinosaurs and seeing Jurassic Park the first time. I remember thinking that nothing that large, imposing or threatening could have ever walked this earth. I began to read and compare the movie to actual fact and came to my own conclusions. I get lost in the world that was created in which to transport people back billions of year ago. This beloved franchise was recently given a 2015 twist and is scarier, more exciting and more imposing then before.

Appropriately this months box theme is a take on the uber successful recently rebooted Jurassic Park series – instead welcome to “Purrassic Park” for Pet Gift boxes Jurassic June Box. This months theme could not have been more timely or more appropriate as many subscription boxes are using this as a theme and capitalizing on this beloved franchise. The thematic tone to this months box was right on point and included the following:

KitNipBox Subscription Box- May Review

KitNip Subscription Box – May ReviewIf you know me/us or have read this blog in the past you probably know how much I/we love our Muggles. Our two Muggles are also the most playful cats we know or have been around. We thought that by now the energy levels in the house would diminish as kitten-hood gets further from them, but that is not the case. Murfee especially acts like he did at 9 weeks old, which makes for an always awake, parkouring, trouble causing combination of a cat. Maggee is starting to show signs of slowing, except where treats and toys are concerned.

The bonus for us is that with all the energy comes many fun moments to play with them, which we do quite often. When the cats were little we read that it was important to give indoor cats as much stimulation as possible since they are stuck inside and unable to explore outside. We really took this to heart as pet owners and the result is a feline friendly home that has sleeping spots, scratch spots (homemade in some cases) and more toys than 2 cats ever would need.

Being a review blogger gives me chances to review monthly gift box subscriptions, including this months KitNipBox. The theme for this month is “Meow Vegas” and they teamed up with Noahs Animal House of Las Vegas to donate a portion of their May proceeds to assist on the grounds of Nevada’s largest crisis shelter.

There were a lot of goodies in this months KitNipBox Multiple Cat Box, including the following:
