Purrfectbox | September Edition

The theme for Septembers Purrfectbox is 'All Snuggled Up' and if you have never heard of the concept before, I have featured a few of these boxes on my blog before. If you haven't seen the posts, the Purrfect box is a UK subscription service which allows you to treat your cat, or your dog (Pawsome Box). Each month you will receive a box of treats, toys, accessories, hygiene and personal care products customized and based on the cat's age, size, weight, fur type and preferences. Anyone who reads my blog or follows me on Instagram will know what a big part my three cats play in my life, Hector even has his own Instagram!

Each month has a different theme so you get different goodies each month. The cost is £19.50 per month or £15.50 if you subscribe yearly and this was what was in the box.

There are six different products within this box for your kitty and as soon as I opened the lid, my three swarmed to get a look in.

Cat Grooming Mit - This one-size-fits-all grooming mitt provides pets with extra attention and closeness while giving owners the satisfaction of a cleaner cat. This versatile mitt can be used on a pet but also picks up hair left behind on furniture, fabrics and carpets. Perfect for all coat types.

Purr By Wagg - These delicious mini heart shaped treats, taste great and are good for your cat and mine would eat the entire bag if I let them. However as you may know cats are clean animals who enjoy grooming and with grooming comes furballs as they often find it difficult to control the formation of hairballs as they swallow hair and this can lead to intestinal problems. Wagg have formulated their tasty biscuits with natural cellulose to help combat hairballs. Made with taurine; an organic acid found in animal tissue to help maintain an acute vision and healthy heart. They also contain Omega-3 oils which promote healthy supple skin and a glossy coat. Also enriched with vitamins and with added antioxidents from rosemary extract and they have no artificial colours or flavours. 

Alien Catnip Toy - This is one of the items my three clambered for once the box was opened. This large stuffed alien designed top is filled with catnip, this toy has a strong aromatic fragrance, that stimulates playful behaviour when it might look like they have gone a little loopy by licking and kicking the toy.

Yellow Trixie Bird Cat Toy - Again this toy has created hours of fun for Hector, he is captivated by the bright yellow tale which he likes to roll over and throw around in the air as though it is alive and he has hunted for it and even more so once it rattles.

Trixie Rainbow balls on an Elastic Band - There are 3 balls and 3 bells on an elastic band, which rattle when you shake them. Both Hector and Dexter are obsessed with this toy and both seem to want it at the same time. Hector likes to be able to jump up and catch it, whereas Dexter, who is a little older and a lot more destructive is trying to constantly find a way to dismantle it.

The final item in the Box are Sanal Soft Sticks in Lamb and Rice flavour and they contain no added colourings but do contain taurine for healthy eyes and heart plus they have extra added vitamins A, D3 and E stimulate the zest and vitality of your cat.

I think this is such a great little box of treats and so do my three fur kids who have devoured the treats and fight over the toys, usually with Hector winning the battle.  Now they use the box as something to lie in.

Purrfect Box for Cats - November Box

Just a few days ago we took delivery of the November Purrfect Box, The Purrfect box** is a UK subscription service which allows you to treat your cat, or your dog (Pawsome Box)and each month you will receive each month treats, toys, accessories, hygiene and personal care products customized and based on the cat's age, size, weight, fur type and preferences. Each month has a different theme so you get different goodies each month. The cost is £19.50 per month or £15.50 if you subscribe yearly and this was what was in the box.

As you can see the box is pretty full with eight items nicely packed inside.  One thing I always do whilst my boys explore is to read the magazine which comes with it, there are so many handy tips and tricks that I find invaluable.

The first item that caused some excitement for Hector was a bright yellow package which contained a Gimcat Cat Pudding.  I never knew such a thing existed but it does and it was a huge hit in this house.  Said to be a treat between meals, the Gimcat pudding contains nutritious milk to keep your kitty happy.

Cat food is always an added bonus, especially when it is something you haven't yet bought for your animals to try.  I always try and ensure my three have a slight change of food occasionally and these two tins of Thrive were so popular there was almost a huge fight. Thrive food is cooked with added vitamins and minerals and with no gluten and no wheat.

I do give my cats treats, it is often the quickest way out of the door in a morning when they want to come with me to work.  Inside the Purrfect box this month are some Armitage Chicken Bites which are made with 89% read chicken, are hypoallergenic and contain no artificial colours or preservatives. 

These again were a huge hit with Dexter who tends to dislike anything other than Dreamies (known as Kitty Crack in our house), so it was a real surprise to see he liked these.

Camon Wipes are a nice inclusion within the box, especially with having a kitten who is still learning to wash properly.  They are great for giving him a helping hand with wiping his paws, more so because he is obsessed with his litter tray and laying in it can be really smelly!

Any cat toy is always a plus and this time we have two to choose from. A feather toy on a string is brilliant for ensure your cat gets adequate play time to keep them fit and healthy and for Hector, it is a great way to start his hunting career because he thinks it is alive and bounces all over the place.

Trixie kindly included a fun roller which has really excited my three.  Putting some treats in for them to find has kept them occupied for over an hour as they sniff, poke and spit at the toy. Hector was the first to figure out that if you roll it, something comes out, but Dexter was in there to claim the treat before Dude decided that if he couldn't have a go, neither could anyone else and he sat on it.

The final item in the box is a cute cat blanket which is perfect for the winter months.  I have a few cat blankets for each of my boys who enjoy their own, so now Hector also has one and being rather creative, I made a bed from the box and it looks pretty cool and it almost matches the colour of his fur too!

So there you have the November Purrfect Box and as I have said before, it is a real treat for my boys to get and as soon as they see the box they know exactly what it is and cannot wait for me to rip it open.  If you have a friend who has cats, then this would make a fantastic alternative Christmas present!

Have you signed up to Purrfect Box for your kitty?

Purrfect Box for Cats plus meet Hector!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you will have seen the latest addition to our little family of fur balls.  Hector.  He is a grey male kitten who is full of energy and loves nothing better than to run laps of the flat at 3am much to the dismay of everyone else who will be sleeping.

One thing my boys do love is the delivery of a Purrfect Box, The Purrfect box** is a brand new UK subscription service which allows you to treat your cat, or your dog each month you will receive each month treats, toys, accessories, hygiene and personal care products customized and based on the cat's age, size, weight, fur type and preferences. Each month has a different theme so you get different goodies each month. The cost is £19.50 per month or £15.50 if you subscribe yearly and this was what was in the box.

The box is pretty full to the brim and my lot always just dive right in scratching around to see what is inside and this month there is quite a variety and something for everyone.

Cat toys will always be a big hit, when you have three of them, they all seem to want to play with the same toy despite not wanting it when it was free an available to play with. The Laser toy is something every cat I have ever had loves and it is a perfect chance to exercise your furball and keep them entertained, even Hector adores it.  The Dragonfly Delight toy is stuffed full of catnip and again sends each kitty into a tizz as soon as they so much as get a whiff, this is definitely Dexters toy right now.

Then we have some food which my boys have already tried and loved.  Equilibre & Instant is a French brand and it was lapped up by Dude before anyone else got a look in. Trixie offers a delicious tasting salmon cream and as soon as the lid was off the tube, each cat wanted a taste.

Treats are something we use in this house as a reward for being good (or bribery) and the Chicken 'n' Fish by Filous which are cat snacks made with chicken and fish are again proving to be popular and a nice alternative to Dreamies (also known as Kitty Crack)

Grass is something my cats eat and it drives me insane because 9 times out of 10 they vomit after doing so, usually combined with furballs.  Cat grass is, I feel, I great way to help your cat get rid of those furballs which have been created by washing and grooming themselves and this Camon Catnip Grass will be very popular once it has grown.

The final item is the one which intrigues me the most. Shampoo by Nilaqua which is a no rinse shampoo.  The thought of putting my two eldest anywhere near the bath fills me with dread in all honesty and I instead tend to settle for a warm wet flannel and do the best I can.  Given you apply this directly onto the coat of your cat and remove with a towel dry, I just need to pluck up the courage to give it a try!

I love seeing the look on the faces of my three boys as soon as I opened the box was amazing, they loved each and every item within the box, which you can see from the photos and even now, a few weeks after getting the box, all of the items are still played with, rolled over chewed, dribbled on and fought over, so for me, this is great value for money and is definitely something I would think of subscribing too. Better still, if you know someone with a cat and don't know what to buy them for Christmas, get this for the cat instead!

What do you think to this box? Have you got it, would you buy it?
