Meowbox September 2019 Review
Meowbox has a lot of exclusive toys that are usually pretty popular with my cats. From my perspective, it’s nice to see some things that don’t turn up in other cat subscription boxes:
The information card typically just gives a URL for finding out more information about the items in the box. The picture is adorable, as usual. This month had a sports theme. There was also a coupon code this month although there’s usually not product literature in this box.
Dezi and Roo Wiggly Ball – Retail Value $3.99
You can see pictures of this out of the package down below. This was pretty awesome according to both Sneaky and Angus. It didn’t make for the best pictures (would’ve been better as video) but they sure had fun. The ball makes it bounce a little, even on carpet, and they liked the tail as well.
#1 Feline Fan Catnip Toy – Retail Value $5
This is a little crinkly and it has feathers. It is small enough for tossing around but the feathers were the most interesting to my crew (especially Madison). This has a fuzzy plush texture and catnip (of course).
Purr Puck Duo – Retail Value $8
This has silvervine instead of catnip and the stick part on the hockey stick is an actual silvervine twig. Madison is the silvervine fan in my house but I freaked him out by putting the medal on him (see below) and he wouldn’t do anything for pictures after that. We will try again later when the pressure is off! The puck is a small plush toy good for rolling or tossing around.
Furrst Place Medal – Retail Value $5
This has a ribbon with a Velcro closure and yes, I put it on my kitties. Monkey posed, Madison ran off and hid under the bed and it was hard to get this off of him because of that, and Sneaky fought with it. I didn’t even try with Angus because I never would’ve been able to catch him to get it off again. The “medal” part is a catnip plush toy.
Pet Greens Cat Craves, Chicken (3 oz) – Retail Value $5
These are semi-moist treats and I already know that my cats love them. I even got Monkey to eat one, and of course Sneaky and Madison were fans. (Angus can’t have them because of his inflammatory bowel disease.) These come in a resealable package and they arrived just in time because I was almost out of suitable treats for giving to Sneaky before and after her asthma inhaler.
Kitty photo time!
These days, Angus only wants to play under the table. Oh well.
Madison has not been an enthusiastic participant in photo sessions lately. I guess he is old and cranky (he turned 12 this year, although Monkey is a little older).
Monkey was a willing participant this time. I felt kind of mean not giving treats to Angus, who clearly wanted them, but Angus can’t have chicken.
I put the medal on Sneaky and she started fighting it. She was very playful (she also enjoyed the treats, but those photos were blurry because she was lunging too close to the camera) for this session.
Verdict: I calculated a total value of $26.99 for September’s Meowbox. That’s a few dollars above the cost of the box and since the toys and treats were all so well-liked by my cats, we are happy. Every single item was a hit with someone (or 2 or 3 cats).
