#ChewyInfluencer Friskies Lil' Soups Review

Friskies Lil' Soups with Chicken and Butternut Squash


I'm always looking for little incentives to get Carmine to eat when he's not feeling like it, so I was curious to see if Carmine would enjoy these Friskies Lil' Soups.

FTC Disclosure: We received a case of Friskies Lil' Soups with Chicken and Butternut Squash in a Velvety Broth Lickable Cat Treats for a fair and honest review as part of the Chewy Influencer program. Receiving the Lil' Soups did not influence my (or my cats') opinions in any way. All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are our own. 

Friskies Lil' Soups with Chicken and Butternut Squash in a Velvety Broth Lickable Cat Treats:


  • Is made with real chicken.
  • Contains butternut squash for a unique and tasty flavor.
  • Comes packaged in small, convenient cups.
  • Is intended to be served as a treat to complement your cat's diet.
What did our taste testers think about these?

Dr. Elsey's Clean Tracks Litter Review #ChewyInfluencer

Precious Cat Litter #ChewyInfluencer

We have been using Dr. Elsey's cat litter for years, so we were excited to try out this particular formula of litter when Chewy offered it up for review this month. 

Dr. Elsey's Clean Tracks Multi-Cat Strength Clumping Cat Litter contains no scent and is 99.9% dust-free. Both of these qualities are very important to me. Even though Lita (who had severe asthma) has gone to the Bridge, certain scents and dust really bother my asthma as well. Using a dust-free litter is essential to me.

#ChewyInfluencer: Victor Canned Cat Food Review

Victor canned cat food


This month, we saw that Chewy.com was offering Victor canned cat food as one of the review choices for Chewy Influencers, so we decided to try Victor Shredded Chicken Dinner in Gravy Canned Cat Food.

To be honest, I'd never heard of this brand, so I was looking forward to seeing what Carmine and Lita thought about it.

Some of the key benefits to Victor canned cat food include:

  • No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
  • No corn, wheat, soy, or gluten.
  • Made in the USA.

Burt's Bees Waterless Shampoo for Cats #ChewyInfluencer

Burt's Bees Waterless Shampoo
Last month, as part of the Chewy Influencer Blogger Outreach Program, I chose to review Burt's Bees Waterless Shampoo for Cats.  Lita was getting lactulose pretty often, and D often got some in her fur in the process of giving it to her.  I thought this waterless shampoo might help us keep her fur cleaner and not clump up as much with the sticky lactulose in it. 

Benefits of Burt's Bees Waterless Shampoo for Cats


  • The shampoo contains apple to nourish the skin and honey for a soft and shiny coat.
  • It is specifically pH balanced for cats.
  • The shampoo is 99.8% natural and has no colorants or sulfates.
What Did We Think?

Most cats don't like water, so giving them a bath can be incredibly difficult.  I've given Lita one real bath with shampoo and water - when she was young - and it wasn't a pleasant experience for either of us.  When Angel Jewel had chronic renal failure, her fur got greasy.  I tried some waterless shampoo on her to help her stay clean, and it worked well, so I thought that this might also be a good option for keeping the lactulose from forming clumps in Lita's fur.

Wellness CORE Boneless Chicken Wet Cat Food Topper Review

This post is sponsored by Chewy.com.  

A box of Wellness CORE Boneless Chicken Grain-Free Wet Cat Food Toppers.

As many of you already know, Carmine has chronic pancreatitis.  He is on a regimen of anti-nausea medications and Prednisolone to treat his condition, and he is doing really well these days.  However, there are occasions where he's still a little fussy about his wet (canned food) meals. 

It's at these times when I will put a little "incentive" on top of his wet food to get him to start eating it.  So, I was excited last month when these Wellness CORE Simply Shreds Grain-Free Boneless Chicken Wet Cat Food Toppers were being offered for review through Chewy.com's Blogger Influencer Outreach Program.

Fountains Encourage Cats to Drink More Water: #PetHydrationMonth

Did you know that your cat needs to drink one ounce of water for every pound she weighs?  For instance, Carmine weighs 10 pounds.  That means he needs to drink 10 ounces of water each day in order to stay sufficiently hydrated.

When your cat doesn't drink enough water, he can become dehydrated.

An infographic explaining the advantages of pet fountains over traditional water bowls.


How do You Know When Your Cat is Dehydrated?

There are several warning signs that your cat may be dehydrated, including:

  • Dry and sticky gums.
  • Lack of energy.
  • Excessive, ongoing panting.
  • Vomiting and diarrhea.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Loss of skin elasticity - when the skin is pulled away or moved, it doesn't snap back to its original position.
  • Sunken, dry eyes.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Tasty Toppers Review #ChewyInfluencer

When you have a cat with chronic pancreatitis, mealtime can become quite a challenge!  Sometimes I put what I call, "incentive," on Carmine's food to entice him to eat more.  These, "incentives," include baby food, appetizers, and pouches of cat food toppers.  So when I saw that Chewy was offering Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers as an option for review this month, I was excited to see if Carmine would find this, "incentive," a tasty one!

FTC Disclosure: We received a case of 24 Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers Wild Cuts Tasty Chicken Morsels in Savory Gravy Grain-Free Cat Food Toppers as part of Chewy's Blogger Outreach Program for a fair and honest review.  Receiving the case of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers did not influence my (or my cats') opinions in any way.  All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are our own.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Tasty Toppers

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers make a great cat food topper for dry or wet food.  You can also feed the topper as a treat.  The chicken tasty toppers contain no chicken or poultry by-product meals, wheat, corn, soy, artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors.  I really like that chicken is the first ingredient in the chicken tasty toppers.

Lita with Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Tasty Topper.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers are also available in duck and salmon.

I was a little nervous about whether Carmine and Lita would like the tasty toppers because it's been really hit-or-miss with grain-free food and treats with them.

Carmine eats Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Tasty Topper.

It turns out that Carmine and Lita really like these tasty toppers!  Carmine even ate most of the meat, not just the gravy, I gave him!

I will definitely be putting these in the, "incentives," rotation for Carmine.

You can purchase a case of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Tasty Toppers Wild Cuts Tasty Chicken Morsels in Savory Gravy Grain-Free Cat Food Toppers on Chewy.com.  You'll receive free shipping for orders of $49 or more.

Carmine with Purina Muse Natural Chicken Recipe Accented with Spinach in Chicken Broth Adult Grain-Free Cat Food Trays.

Last month, I selected Purina Muse Natural Chicken Recipe Accented with Spinach in Chicken Broth Adult Grain-Free Cat Food Trays for Carmine and Lita to try as part of the Chewy.com Influencers program.  To be quite honest, I wasn't holding my breath with this food because Carmine and Lita almost always turn their noses up with grain-free food, but they really enjoy other foods Purina makes, so I figured it was worth a try.

Before we get to Carmine and Lita's review, though, I'd like to share the benefits of Purina Muse with you.

Purina Muse Natural Chicken Recipe Accented with Spinach in Chicken Broth Adult Grain-Free Cat Food on a ceramic cat plate.


Purina Muse Natural Chicken Recipe Accented with Spinach in Chicken Broth Adult Grain-Free Cat Food Trays:

  • Is made with real hand-filtered chicken as the first ingredient.
  • Is fortified with essential nutrients and provides your cat with a complete meal.
  • Is accented with spinach.  Spinach adds an extra vitamin and mineral boost to the food.
  • Has added taurine, which supports good vision and healthy heart function.
  • Contains sunflower seed oil, which is a good source of omega fatty acids.  Omega fatty acids help maintain a healthy skin and coat, promote a healthy heart, and promote circulation.
  • Contains no grains, wheat, corn, or soy.  
  • Contains no poultry by-product meal, added artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Chicken & Pumpkin We Cat Food Review: #ChewyInfluencer

Last month, I was really excited when I saw that Chewy.com was offering Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Chicken & Pumpkin Formula with Shreds Grain-Free Wet Cat Food because Carmine and Milita enjoy several other Natural Balance products.  Carmine really likes the Limited Ingredient Diet Chicken & Green Pea and Turkey & Giblets as well as the non-fish-flavored platefuls pouches.

Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Chicken & Pumpkin wet cat food

Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets:

  • Use only one protein source.
  • Is 100% grain-free.
  • Contains no soy, wheat, corn, or artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.

PetSafe Current Pet Fountain Review

Carmine drinks out of the PetSafe Current Pet Fountain.
Cats need to drink one ounce of water for every pound they weigh each day.  That means if your cat weighs 10 pounds, he needs to drink 10 ounces of water each day.

There are several ways you can encourage your cat to drink more, one of which is getting your cat a pet fountain.

Last month was Pet Hydration Month, and we received a new PetSafe® Current Fountain to review.

Since Milita doesn't drink out of fountains, Carmine will be the only one giving his review.

KONG Naturals Incline Cat Scratcher Review

Carmine: Mes wonders what came in my Chewy box this month...

We enjoy being part of the Chewy Blogger Outreach Program because we get to try out new cat products each month.  This month I selected the KONG Naturals Incline Cat Scratcher for Carmine and Milita to try out.  

Carmine: Hmmm....what do we has here?

Every cat needs to scratch.  Scratching pads and posts provide kitties an appropriate place to scratch.  In my opinion, every cat needs multiple scratching pads and posts throughout the house.  

Key benefits of the KONG Naturals Cat Scrather are:
  • It comes in three sizes: Single Scratcher - 19.25 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches.  Double Scratcher - 19.25 x 8.88 x 1.5 inches.  Incline Scratcher - 19.25 x 7.5 x 1.5 inches.
  • Eco-friendly material is used made with renewable resources.
  • Provides an appropriate and fun place for your cat to scratch.
Each scratcher comes with a double-sided scratch pad, so you can get twice the use out of each one!

Dr. Catsby's Bowl for Whisker Fatigue Review and Giveaway

A cat's whiskers serve many functions.  They help a cat navigate her environment, find her way in the dark without bumping into objects, and help her decide if she can fit into a small space.  A cat's whiskers are very sensitive.  Cats can experience discomfort or even pain when their whiskers touch the sides of their bowls while they are eating.

Does Your Cat Experience Whisker Fatigue?

Your cat may be experiencing whisker fatigue if he:
  • Leaves food in his bowl even though he is still hungry.
  • Leaves a mess on the floor while he's eating.
  • Hesitates to eat his meal even though he is hungry.
  • Paces around his bowl.
  • Pulls food out of his bowl with his paw or mouth and eats it on the floor.
  • Acts aggressively toward the other pets in the house at mealtime.  
Dr. Catsby's Bowl for Whisker Fatigue

Dr. Catsby's Bowl for Whisker Fatigue

Dr. Catsby's Bowl for Whisker Fatigue allows your cat to eat comfortably because the bowl's design insures that your kitty's whiskers never touch the sides of the bowl.  The bowl also allows for easy access to food; the food always stays in the middle of the bowl.

It's a #CatTeaPotty with Weruva's New Sustainable Cat Litter

We're hosting a #CatTeaParty today!  What kind of tea would you like?  We have all kinds - chamomile, apple cinnamon, blueberry, raspberry, and green tea.  Pull up a seat, let us pour you a cup of tea, and let's get this party started!

This post is sponsored by WeRuVa® and the BlogPaws® Pet Influencer Network™.  I am being compensated to help create awareness about the launch of WeRuVa's new It's a Tea Party Cat Litter, but Fur Everywhere only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.  WeRuVa is not responsible for the content of this article.  


Carmine checks out a bag of Weruva Cat Litter Made with Hinoki Wood & Green Tea.

You've probably heard of Weruva® cat food, but did you know that Weruva now makes cat litter as well?  All of my cats have really enjoyed eating the high-quality cat food Weruva makes, so I was thrilled when I learned the company is now making cat litter.  

Inspired by their rescue cats WEbster, RUdi, and VAnessa - the namesakes of the company - the founders of Weruva set out to make the highest quality cat food possible.  Driven by the same inspiration, Weruva set out to create the best litter possible for their cats.  

Weruva Cat Litter Made from Hinoki Wood & Green Tea helps naturally control litter box odor.  Hinoki wood, which is in the Japanese cypress family, naturally curbs humidity, which suppresses the growth of bacteria and mold.  Green tea contains catechins, compounds that have antioxidant properties, which also naturally suppress the growth of bacteria.  Because bacteria is often the cause of litter box odor, Hinoki wood and green tea's ability to naturally suppress bacteria and mold growth helps control litter box odors.  

Weruva Cat Litter is clay and grain-free.  The litter also doesn't contain any corn or wheat, which are common culprits of cat allergies.  


Milita is excited about trying Weruva's new cat litter made with Hinoki Wood & Green Tea.

Additionally, the litter is low-dust, which is great for cats (and humans) who have asthma.  My asthma wasn't bothered at all when I poured the Weruva cat litter into Carmine and Milita's litter box.  The litter hasn't bothered Milita's asthma at all, either.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if Carmine and Milita would use the litter.  They've tried other alternative litters before and refused to use them.  To my surprise, they are using the Weruva Cat Litter and seem to like it; they've given it their paw of approval.

Weruva suggests that you put 2-4 inches of litter into the box for your cat.  I always put plenty of litter in Carmine and Milita's box because Carmine likes to dig and dig and dig and....well, you get the idea.  Weruva Cat Litter's larger granules make it more difficult for Carmine to sling litter all over the bathroom.  Additionally, neither cat tracks the litter as much as they do with other litters.  

Weruva's Cat Litter clumps well and does a great job of controlling odor.  All I smell when I scoop the litter is the litter's green tea aroma, which I love.  

Weruva Cat Litter Made with Hinoki Wood & Green Tea.

Sustainability and stewardship of the earth's resources is important to Weruva.  The Hinoki wood they use in their litter is a salvaged by-product from other industries, including the construction and piano industries.  Additionally, a new tree is planted for every tree that is used.  

Weruva Cat Litter Made with Hinoki Wood & Green Tea comes in 6.7 and 11.7 pound bags.  Depending on how many litter boxes you use and how many cats you have in your home, Weruva estimates a 6.7 pound bag of their litter will last between 10 and 30 days while an 11.7 pound bag will last between 17 and 50 days.  You can purchase a bag of Weruva Cat Litter here.  

The party doesn't have to end here!  Continue the #CatTeaParty by following Weruva on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around Cupcake Catnip Toy Review

Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around cupcake catnip toy.

Carmine really loves his Imperial Cat cat scratcher, so we were excited for the opportunity to try out an Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around catnip toy.

The Cat 'n Around cupcake is made of soft fabric and has a velcro enclosure on the back.  The refillable toy comes with a packet of certified organic catnip.  The velcro enclosure is easy to open and close, but the hole it makes when it's open is pretty small, making the catnip a little difficult to get in there, especially if your fingers are really small.

Carmine plays with the Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around cupcake catnip toy.

Once I got some catnip into the toy, I showed it to Carmine.  He was quite happy with the toy and immediately started playing with it and rubbing his face all over it.

Milita checks out the Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around cupcake catnip toy.

Lita checked the cupcake out, too.  She didn't take to it immediately the way Carmine did.  But to be fair, Carmine was kind of hogging it...

Carmine hogs the cupcake toy.

The next morning, I heard Lita rolling around in the kitchen and found her having a good time with the cupcake toy!

Both cats like the toy and give it four paws up!

You can check out all of Imperial Cat's products on their website.  There, you can also search for stores near you that sell Imperial Cat products.

FTC Disclosure: We received an Imperial Cat Cat 'n Around cupcake catnip toy for a fair and honest review.  Receiving the toy did not influence my (or my cats') opinions.  All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are my (and my cats') own.  Imperial Cat is not responsible for the content of this article.

Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack Review

FTC Disclosure: As part of the Chewy Blogger Outreach Program, we received a Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack of cat food for a fair and honest review.  Receiving the cat food did not influence my (or my cats') opinions.  All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are my (and my cats') own.  Chewy.com is not responsible for the content of this article.  

Carmine checks out some Tiki Cat canned cat food.

I was delighted when I saw that Chewy.com was offering us the opportunity to try the Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack.  I know that Tiki Cat is a high-quality food, and I wondered if Carmine and Milita might like some of the flavor combinations offered in the variety pack.

The Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack includes 12 cans of cat food in a variety of flavors.  The pack includes:

  • Beef & Liver (one can).
  • Bonito Tuna (one can).
  • Seabass (one can).
  • Chicken with Turkey (two cans).
  • Beef Liver & Chicken (one can).
  • Tilapia (one can).
  • Chicken with Duck (two cans).
  • Beef Liver & Lamb (one can).
  • Chicken & Liver (two cans).
The Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack has many benefits including:
  • The cat food has a zero glycemic index.
  • Made with whole meats.
  • The recipes don't contain any grain or gluten.
  • The food also contains no carbohydrates, flour, or starch.
  • Is 55% protein, 35% fat, and 0% carbohydrates.
  • Has added vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals.
  • It meets the nutritional levels set by the AAFCO for All Life Stages. 
Milita enjoys some Tiki Cat Chicken with Turkey canned cat food.

As you can see, Milita enjoyed the Chicken with Turkey formula.  

Carmine enjoys some Tiki Cat Chicken with Turkey cat food.

Carmine also enjoyed it.

In fact, Carmine and Milita have enjoyed all of the flavors they've tried.  They've tried every formula except for the fish ones (Tilapia, Seabass, and Bonito Tuna) because they can't eat fish.  

I was a little surprised by the water-to-meat ratio in some of the cans.  I was concerned that Carmine would only lap up the liquid and leave the meat like he often does.  However, he's eaten the meat and the liquid with these formulas.  

You can try the Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore Variety Pack for yourself by ordering it from Chewy.com.  Right now, this variety pack is $17.49.  Don't forget that your order of $49 or more ships for free as well.

Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks Review

FTC Disclosure: As part of Chewy.com's Blogger Outreach Program, we received a bag of Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks with Natural Chicken & Liver Flavors Cat Treats for a fair and honest review.  Receiving the treats did not influence my (or my cats') opinions.  All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are my (and my cats') own.  Chewy.com is not responsible for the content of this post.

I selected Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks with Natural Chicken & Liver Flavors Cat Treats this month for Carmine and Milita to try because they really love the other Pro Plan treats they've tried, and I had no idea Pro Plan makes dental treats.


Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks have several benefits:
  • They help reduce tartar buildup.
  • They are high in omega-6 fatty acids and protein.
  • They are made with natural chicken and liver flavors.
  • The treats have no added artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.
  • The treats' crunchy texture helps clean your cat's teeth and freshen breath.
  • They are made in the USA.
The ingredients in Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks with Natural Chicken & Liver Flavors Cat Treats include: ground yellow corn, chicken meal, corn gluten meal, animal digest, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols, powdered cellulose, fish meal, animal liver flavor, glycerin, calcium carbonate, natural flavor, salt, brewer's dried yeast, vitamin E supplement, and tricalcium phosphate. 

I would love to see real meat added to these treats, but I figured a treat that can help my kitties' teeth is worth trying.  So what did Carmine and Milita think about the treats?


Carmine comes running from wherever he is anytime he hears a Pro Plan treat bag rattle, so it wasn't hard to get his attention!  Carmine really loves these treats!  And do you know what the best thing is?  He actually chews them!  Carmine has a habit of not chewing his kibble or treats.  Instead, he usually just swallows them whole.  A lot of treats are small, which is great for cats, but it also allows them to swallow the treats whole if they choose to, like Carmine does.  The Pro Plan dental treats are too big for Carmine to swallow them whole, so he chews them up every time.  Finally, a dental treat that will actually help his teeth because he chews it up!

It's hardly any surprise that Carmine liked the treats - he is very picky about his food, but he loves just about any kind of treat.  The real test is whether the treat critic in the house - Milita - liked them.


Milita also likes the treats!  She's not quite as enthusiastic about them as Carmine is, but she definitely gave these treats her paw of approval!  

I will definitely be purchasing more of these dental treats when our current bag is gone.

Purina Pro Plan Dental Crunch Cat Snacks come in Chicken & Liver and Lobster & Scallop flavors.  You can purchase a 1.8-ounce bag of either flavor on Chewy.com right now for $3.25.  Don't forget that Chewy also offers cat food, litter, and toys for purchase as well.  All orders of $49 or more ship for free.  

Don't forget - some kitty has a special day tomorrow.  We hope you'll stop by to see who it is!

CatLadyBox Review

Carmine is curled up on a box with his new catnip drumstick from Housecat Club.
All the way back in November, I received a CatLadyBox to review.  I got a little behind during the holidays, and that's why I'm only getting to it now.

What is CatLadyBox?

There are lots of subscription boxes for cats and dogs, but CatLadyBox is the first subscription box for cat ladies themselves!  Each month, you receive a box of awesome cat-themed items, which can include jewelry, mugs, T-shirts, office or home decor, art, books, accessories, and limited-edition items.  

CatLadyBox's mission is to change the "crazy cat lady" stereotype.  Cat ladies are beautiful, compassionate, intelligent, fun, and successful women.  With CatLadyBox's unique cat-themed items, cat ladies can show the world how awesome being a cat parent is.  

About Dorian Wagner

Dorian Wagner founded CatLadyBox, and she is one amazing woman!  Six years ago, Dorian founded Your Daily Cute, a blog featuring adorable cat videos.  A year later, she began the Santa Paws Drive, which is an annual treat and toy drive for animal shelters.  Next, she started the Cute Transport Network, a network of volunteers who drive cats to no-kill shelters and new homes all over the country.  Most recently, she founded CatLadyBox.

Our CatLadyBox

CatLadyBox collage: Two photos of the CatLadyBox after it has just been opened, a photo of the Cats Are my Bag tote bag, and a photo of a leopard-print watch.
I was so excited when I received my CatLadyBox in the mail!  I love getting surprises, and knowing that this box contained cat-themed surprises was even better.  Of course Carmine had to give it his paw of approval before he allowed me to open it.  

Everything came nicely packaged as you can see in the top two photos of our collage.  

What came in my CatLadyBox:

Leopard Cat Watch: The leopard cat watch is an adorable cat accessory.  The watch features a stainless steel case, gold-toned hardware, and quartz movement.  It is water-resistant, not water-proof, so it's receomended that you not dunk this watch in water.  You can find the watch at The Tiniest Tiger Studios.  I love the adorable cat face on this watch.  

Cat Outline Keychain by the Emporium: The adorable cat keychain is made of vinyl and contains a split ring.  It holds up to normal wear and tear.  Each keychain is made by hand by Britany, The Emporium's owner.

Black cat keychain.
Cats Are My Bag Tote by Xenotes: This black canvas tote bag features the words, "Cats are my Bag," in gold sparkly letters.  Each bag is screen-printed in Philadelphia at Xenotes.  I use my tote all the time - I take it with me nearly every time I go out!  

I received the Crazy CatLadyBox, so my box contained two additional items for my kitties!

Catnip Drumstick by Housecat Club: Each drumstick is hand-sewn, made with 100% recycled materials, is vegan, and is stuffed with organic catnip.  Carmine enjoys catnip, but it is Milita that really goes nuts for the drumstick!  It's so adorable to watch her find it where she's last left it and rediscovers how much she loves it.

Cloud 9 Cat Treats: Cloud 9 treats are high in protein, low in calories, and grain-free.  They contain no by-products, preservatives, or fillers.

Cloud 9 treats

Five percent of the proceeds from CatLadyBox are donated to cat rescues.

You can find CatLadyBox on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.  

FTC Disclosure: I received a Crazy CatLadyBox for a fair and honest review.  Receiving the box did not influence my (or my cats') opinions in any way.  All opinions expressed on Fur Everywhere are my (and my cats') own.

Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews Review

Carmine sits on a box in the kitchen with a bag of Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews.
We know Mondays are usually the day we give an update about ourselves.  Lita had to go to the vet on Friday for a possible UTI, but they won't have her blood and urine test results back until today or tomorrow, so we will give you an update later this week.

Today we want to tell you about the Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews we had the opportunity to try in December as part of the Chewy.com Blogger Outreach Program.

As you may know, there are many situations that can stress out cats.  Among them are veterinary visits, changes in routine, being boarded, visits to the groomer, having company over, parties, home renovation, fireworks, thunderstorms, and moving.  The Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews provide a way for you to relieve your cat's anxiety in a chicken liver flavored treat.

The ingredients in Calming Cat Chews include: brewers yeast, canola oil, chicken liver flavor, citric acid, glycerin, mixed tocopherols, propionic acid, proprietary blend (maltodextrin, sodium alginate, and calcium sulfate), rosemary extract, silicon dioxide, soy lethicin, vegetable oil, and whey.

Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews come in fun fish shapes.
I liked the cute little fish shape the treats come in.  But how did Carmine and Milita like them?

Carmine and Milita seem to agree that the treats taste good.  They both licked the treats a lot.  However, they seemed to have a little trouble eating them.  I noticed the treats are harder in texture than the treats they normally eat, so this may have been the problem.

Nevertheless, they both do occasionally manage to eat them.  I haven't tried them out before a vet visit, but I plan to in the future.

You can find Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming Cat Chews on Chewy.com right now for $2.59 for a 1.12-ounce (21 count) bag.  All orders of $49 or more also include free shipping.
