The May CatLadyBox #catladybox #catladyboxday

 It's always exciting when the CatLadyBox is delivered! I swear Roary smells kitties when it comes because he's always all over it!

This box most definitely didn't disappoint! My favorite item is the "My Kids Have Paws Shirt" love the color and saying, it's pawesome!

Then there was the Meow Zip Pouch (Pink), the Cuddly Cat Throw Pillow (which Roary was all over!), the Meow Block Letter Ring, and the cutest cat toys! Key to Meow Heart Catnip Toy and the Baaabara the Sheep Catnip Toy (Hope Levi doesn't try to herd it! lol)

This month CatLadyBox made donations to:

• Storm's Angels rescue
• Lil Roar Cat Rescue
• Open Door Animal Sanctuary
• Volunteers in defense of animals
• Smitten with Kittens

Late Revealing Our July "Mew Are My Sunshine" #CatLadyBox !

 Eeek!! It's the beginning of August and I FINALLY opened my July "Mew Are My Sunshine" CatLadyBox! 

Ok, I have a good reasons to be late.  I fractured my right ankle (multiple fractures) on July 9th ....as of July 13th I do not have to have surgery (thank COD!) but I have to wear an ankle brace (mostly when I leave the house or if I am doing laundry or something that requires a lot of standing when I am inside). I can't take my long walks with Levi, which I do miss and it's pretty much ruining the summer, but what can you do? Things could always be worse! My next appointment is August 24th to check and see how the ankle is healing, so here's hoping it's on the mend!

So, today I am going to briefly show you the goodies that were in this fabulous July box:

The first item is the pawsitively adorable "Mew Are My Sunshine Shirt" As the description states, "Cats are the sunshine of our hearts!" I am crazy about the coral color of this shirt ! It is bright and cheerful and the saying is darling. I honestly think my favorite part of my monthly CatLadyBox subscription is when they include a T-shirt. The shirts are always unique, well-made, adorable and true to size!

The next item is at the top of the photo, it is the "Happy Cats Canvas Bin." It is collapsible and sturdy! I am currently using it for some of Roary's cat toys, but it could also be used as a grocery bag for the store, a bag to store knitting supplies or anything your heart desires!

The yellow item on the bottom right that looks like a sunglasses smiley face emoji, is the "Sunny Sunshine Catnip Toy." Super cute!

On the top right is the "Elbow Meowcaroni Catnip Toy". How cute is that?

Last but not least is the "Cat Nightlight"....it is in the shape of a cat's head and is just darling! I currently have mine plugged in the kitchen, not far from Roary's bowl. It really gives off a lot of light! 

Speaking of Roary, he was taking a nap when I was taking photos so that's why he isn't in any of them. Didn't feel like waking him up to have him pawticipate!

The artwork featured in the collage above on the far left was done by the featured Cat Lady Artist for July: Elizabeth Anderson of Elizabeth Anderson Art.

Some of the proceeds from the July CatladyBox were donated to:

• St.Sophia's Forgotten Felines
• Cedar Valley Humane Society
• A Wing and a Prayer Rescue
• Tabby Tales Rescue

One of the most fun times of the month is when my CatLadyBox arrives! If you haven't signed up for a subscription you should! The CatLadyBox is unlike any other cat subscription box out there. Each month, you'll receive a meowvelous selection of high-quality cat-themed items only available through them. From super-soft shirts and beautiful jewelry to inspired home decor and quirky cat toys, the boxes NEVER disappoint! What a great way to show off your CatLady pride!!!  GET YOUR CATLADYBOX TODAY!!

I was not compensated for sharing this content. I pay for my monthly subscription. Like other bloggers, I enjoy "unboxing" and showing you just how great the CatLadyBox is!!!

First Official Day of Summer and the June Pool Pawty #CatLadyBox #CatLadyBoxDay

 The Summer Solstice officially arrived at 11:32pm last night in the Northern Hemisphere!

SUMMER IS HERE! I now subscribe to get a monthly CatLadyBox and I am so happy to be a subscriber! The June Pool Pawty  box was so pawesome that I wanted to wait til the official start of Summer to share it with you!

The first item I am happy to show you is the Flamazing Flamingo Catnip toy. Too cute for words. Roary loved it and I do too!

Next up is Jilly the Chilly Pop Catnip Toy. Every kitty needs to cool down on a hot day with a cool toy, and this one is just too cute!

There were also a darling set of Cat Lady luggage tags that have the same tropical kitty theme on them as the box.

What cat lady doesn't need another little purse? There was also a nice and squishy Silicone Kitty Purse! (I am using mine for misc. coins), but you can fit a number of different things in it.

My two favorite items I saved to show you last. The first is the Flocking Fabmewlous Tee

If any of you are fans of the cult-classic movie "Pink Flamingos" this shirt and the catnip toy that I shared a photo of above are MUST HAVES! I thought of that darned movie the second I saw this! 

I am particularly crazy about the T-shirts that are sometimes in the CatLadyBox because they are always well-made, high-quality and extremely unique. Also, if any one is "fluffy" like me, the plus sized T-shirts are PURRFECT!

Now, I saved my most FAVORITE item from the June CatLadyBox til last. It is actually a beach towel, it is named the Cool Cat Beach Towel.  It  is SO BIG I couldn't fit the entire towel in a photo!

Isn't it the cutest ever!? I'm actually not using it for the beach. My bathroom is white, lavender, green, pink and other colors that are in this towel, and I am using it for when I get out of the shower. I will tell you, if a towel fits around ME you can guarantee it is one BIG TOWEL! I can put it around me, tuck in the top and it STAYS PUT! I LOVE IT!

The retail value of each of these items is way more than the monthly cost of my subscription. The items are always fun to receive. It's like receiving a box full of surprises every month!

Each month a portion of what is earned on the boxes are donated to various charities. In June they were able to donate to:

Northeast Missouri Humane Society

Licking County Humane Society

Cenla Cat Project

Catnip Acres

Oh I forgot to mention the art that is shown on the right hand side of the above photo! Look at how precious that is! It was created by the featured cat lady artist for June, Denisn't

If you are on the fence about subscribing to CatLadyBox don't be! There are various subscriptions available for many budgets!! I waited too darned long to be a subscriber, but am happy that I finally signed up!

I was not compensated in any way for featuring these great products or the CatLadyBox.  Like many other bloggers, I just love this box so much that I just had to share!

HAPPY SUMMER ALL!

CatLadyBox Made Me Purr! Give-Away!!

Let me begin this post by saying that when it comes to monthly subscription boxes for cats, I am NOT a fan. Why? Because the market is saturated with them, and the novelty wore off for me nearly the instant they came on the scene.

But...a monthly subscription box created exclusively for  the tasteful and oh so savvy Cat Lady?  Now we're talkin'!! When I first heard about the CatLadyBox my ears perked up! Now THIS I had to see!

Created by Dorian Wagner, one of the most power-packed, adorable, clever, caring and talented cat ladies that I have had the pleasure of knowing since I first began blogging in 2009. I had the pleasure of meeting her at my first BlogPaws Conference in 2011 and our paths have crossed a number of times since.  Just KNOWING she created this treat for cat loving ladies, I KNEW it would be a hit...AND IT IS.

I first learned of Dorian when I followed her blog, Your Daily Cute , a blog dedicated to cute cat videos. It was one that was always on my "must read list."  Dorian also created the popular and hugely successful Santa Paws Drive which takes place every holiday season and provides monetary and toy/spay neuter and supply/treat donations to deserving shelter cats all over the land!  Not one to rest on her laurels, Dorian went on to create and execute a brilliant pet transport group, Cute Transport Network,  which helped shuttle many cats, to new forever homes and no-kill shelters. Over 400 cats have been saved!! 

When I was given the honor/opportunity to blog about the August  Crazy CatLadyBox, I could barely contain my excitement. (The Crazy CatLadyBox is one of two boxes that you can choose from). The  CRAZY CatLadyBox ($39.99) includes  crazy cat lady items hand-picked for you PLUS at least 2 surprises just for kitties! Everyone gets in on the fun!  In the regular CatLadyBox ($34.99) you'll receive 2-3 cat-themed items carefully handpicked by a team of crazy cat ladies just for you! From jewelry and shirts to home decor, books, mugs and more, these are unique things you won't find in any regular store.

From the moment the box arrived at my doorstep I noticed the special touches and attention to detail that are oh-so Dorian!!! From the sticker on the box, to the hand-written heart shaped note on the letter that describes all of the contents in the box in explicit detail, and how the subscription program works, this box did NOT disappoint.

What I didn't realize until I read the letter, was that if receiving a box every month is not your "thang", you CAN skip a month! Why you would want to, is beyond me, but if you need to, YOU CAN! You can upgrade, downgrade, change billing, shipping, shirt size etc., all from the account section of the site.

Subscribe to CatLadyBox and each month they will surprise you with a box of unique finds for cat lovers, exclusive members-only cat lady items and  cat-themed creations you'll be proud to flaunt! There is nothing obnoxious or "tacky" in this box! Every single month, they will  hand-select a fabulous assortment of high-quality cat-themed jewelry, stylish accessories, stylish home or office decor, makeup, books, glassware, and more, and deliver them right to your door (free shipping in the U.S. and only $6.95 to Canada!). It's like getting the most purrfect presents, over and over again!

Now...What was in my August Crazy CatLadyBox?

A beautiful card by featured Cat Lady Artist:Ablaze in Color. You can find her at local art festivals,  on Etsy and on Facebook.

The Cat Print Scarf and Refined Feline Wallet by Triple T Studios. We featured Triple T Studios a few months ago. It was founded by zoologist Joanne McGonagle to support global conservation programs.

Ultimate Cat Lady Car Magnet-a CatLadyBox Exclusive Item! Show your Cat Lady pride on the road or you can put it on your fridge!

There were items for Cody too!!

For Mew Crisp-"Artisan Cat Toys As Unique As Your Cat"

The Holidays Are Approaching!!

The CatLadyBox would make a SUPERB and MOST APPRECIATED gift for your Cat Lady friends and relatives! You can choose "Give a Gift" on the homepage and gift anywhere from a 1-to a 6-month subscription. The site only charges one month at a time, CatLadyBox will send an email saying YOU gave them the gift and you can even pick the day they send the email! Could it be ANY easier?! I don't think so!

 GIVE-AWAY!!!

The CatLadyBox Mission

Our mission is to change the way people think about cat lovers and cat parents.  We are not that one extreme person they see on the news every now and then. We are beautiful, intelligent, fun, successful, big-hearted, respect-worthy women... who love cats.

Saving cats is something we've always been passionate about, and we want to help save even more lives. So the goal at CatLadyBox is to find unique, envy-worthy cat-themed items to help you show off your cat lady pride, show off just how many of us there are, how fabulous we are, and how amazing we think cats are. Together, we can make a huge difference for cats, one new cat lady (and cat guy) at a time!

FTC DISCLOSURE: I was sent a complimentary August Crazy CatLadyBox in exchange for my honest review. Receiving the complimentary box in no way influenced my opinion.  Cat Chat With Caren and Cody only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.
