Pet Gift Box Review – August 2015

I decided Sophia my tuxedo cat deserved to get into the subscription box fun and so ordered Pet Gift Box. She is a “what have your done for me lately?” type of kitty who forgets that I spend my time cleaning her litter and not sifting for gold which it might look like.

I decided to give Pet Gift Box a try because I have been reading some great reviews and they had a Groupon deal that would allow me to try a few months at a fair price. I am all about fair prices so you can be rest assured of that. Prices range from $17.99 a month to $27.99 a month.

You can click here to be taken to the Groupon Deal which lets you try Pet Gift Box for $9.99!  

They carry boxes for both Cats and Dogs, and they also take into account the weight of your animal/pet/best friend/blackmailer.

The theme for Pet Gift Box this month is “Saturday Night Fever!”  The sticker is so cute!

 

Spot - Rockin' Laser Cat Toy

Spot – Rockin’ Laser Cat Toy: There is a lot of talk in the kitty work about laser toys and if they are appropriate because cats can get upset if they don’t actually get to catch the toy they are chasing. From what I have read (I am NOT a vet nor anything close) it seems to be alright to use a laser  toy as long as you also use other toys so that you can satisfy all your kitties hunter needs.

I don’t personally use laser toys with my cat Sophia because she freak’s out if I do. She starts to make this chitter noise and doing weird stuff. I say to her, “Sophia… don’t be weird!” For whatever reason she doesn’t listen to me.

The design of this toy is pretty cool. It reminds me of Scandinavian type decor. I am going to try to pass this off as such at the next housewarming party I am invited to…

Whiskas – Temptations Mix Ups (Catnip Fever Tasty Flavor Medley): Temptations are usually a sure bet for most cat owners. I have known cats that from all appearances seemed addicted to these little treats. I once called the consumer number on the back of the package to see why cats love these treats so much and they told me that Temptations were “a complete treat.” I still am not sure what that means but I can tell you that most cats get addicted to these.

My cat is about the most picky kitty on earth. I already know she is not huge on Temptations so I am going to donate these and not open them. I know there is some kitty out there who is just waiting for more of these morsels!

I can imagine throwing a super crazy cat party and having these drop from the ceiling at midnight!

 

Spot - LED Motion Activated Cat Ball

Spot – LED Motion Activated Cat Ball: This totally goes with the theme of this months box! It is like a tiny little disco ball that lights up when your kitty swipes it. I can tell you this is going to get a ton of use because my kitty likes to party pretty hard. I foresee myself putting on some really good disco (I almost want to Google “really good disco” to see if that sentence has been written before…) and just have a good time! Ok, I will put on some 80s dance music since that is the GOOD stuff.

I don’t look forward to when she looks up at me with her big innocent cat eyes and asks me what “The White Horse” means and “why should we ride them?”…

Cat Dancer – Cat Dancer: I have one of these and I actually think a diabolical cat invented this so that owners get their hands clawed up by their little fur babies. My sweet kitty turns into a feriousious beast when she plays with any dancers so having my hand so close to where she could attack is probably not the best for me personally. I mean personally I like having use of my hands. That could just be me.

I decided to go ahead and put my paws on the line and I am glad that I did! She loves this toy! She hasn’t run around like that in awhile. She loves her long dancer but this one is a great change for her. I am hoping it will help her lose a little of her “fluffy tubs.”

I honestly don’t understand why the mouse is so perplexed on the cover… Run mouse! Don’t worry about it and just RUN!

 

Nature Boy - Amazing Cat Toy

Nature Boy – Amazing Cat Toy: I would not go so far as to call spangle catnip stuffed mice toys as “amazing.” My kitty loves these types of toys and with this one I will only let her play with it when I can keep an eye on her. I just know she will tear them to bits and eat them. This will mean a costly and harrowing visit to the vet where I will be shammed about leaving these alone with my little fur muffin.

They do go with the theme and she will have fun with these for sure. Just within my sight!

Do you think these mice look like they are on their way to the “Players Ball?” I do.

Verdict: I am pleased with this months Pet Gift Box even if my kitty doesn’t eat the treats. I like that they kept with a theme and now I feel 100% ready to throw a kitty dance party that will both impress and excite Sophia. She is loving her toys and it is fun to cycle in new toys (I hide the old toys) and then pepper in the older toys later so to her they  seem new again!

    Sophia is adorable. Link enjoys watching me clean out the kitty litter so he can use it right away when I am done. Our cats go crazy over dancer type toys. We have to buy a long one, otherwise our hands get scratched up. Great review! I love the cat photo 🙂 It made me laugh.

      Thank you! I need to catch up with all the awesome you are doing on this site. I wanted to get the review done before I set off to work.

      I also think I have something wrong with my ear. I feel a little pain in it, and pressure. I have never had an ear infection but I am starting to think this might be one starting. I really don’t know the signs.

      I am going to see if they have anything OTC before I go running off to the Drs. I just hope it isn’t anything gross or will make me sick lol

        Yes, a social media blitz!!! You’re doing a great job reviewing especially with this being a huge week at work! I love seeing your kitty 🙂

        I remember that you said you were driving before. Are you climbing to a higher elevation? You could have water in your ear and the higher elevation is making it feel worse. Try homeopathic ear drops which can be found in stores and pharmacies.It will dry up the ear and give you relief.

        I prefer Muellin Garlic drops from Whole Foods. The problem with those drops is that it smells like garlic. It might not be the best choice if you are already involved in work stuff.

    Our Sophia’s are so different, mine goes absolutely nuts for lazers, she loves them so much. Way more than the other three heathens.

      Does she like treats? I just can’t get over not having treats as a bribing tool!!!

      The cat dancer has turned out to be a huge hit!!! I think the laser bird is pretty nifty looking but yeah… my kitty just gets too weird!!!!!!!!

      PS I love all your kitty pics!!!!

        Mine love treats but Sophie is the smallest of the four, and the shyest, so she doesn't get as many as her siblings.

        I got that cat dancer in a PetBox months ago and every time I used it, I smacked myself repeatedly in the face. That thing, while fun, is brutal.

          LOL I didn’t smack myself but I sort of got her face at one point and I felt bad about it. She didn’t seem to care but I felt like a bad mama…
