Wireless Motion sensor cat fountain by Uah Pet!

 

As a pet owner I am always on the lookout for new products my pets may enjoy, one of the things I have been thinking about getting for my cat lately is a cat fountain. A lot of cats like drinking from a running water source such as a sink faucet or shower & my cat is no expectation to that. At the moment we just have a normal bowl for water near their food dish, but I thought if we had a water dish that offered filtered running water it might encourage my cat to drink more water. So when I was given the chance to work with Uah Pet to review their wireless automatic cat water fountain, I knew I had to say yes. This cat fountain can be purchased directly on their website or through Amazon, & you can get a discount on it by using code "LUNAUAH15" during checkout to get 15% off  your Amazon purchase or "LUNAUAH20" to get 20% through their website. The fountain is currently at $39.99 on Amazon (at the time of writing this review 3/9/23). 

The instructions for the initial set up & charge were simple and easy to follow. We let it charge for the required amount of time & gave the filter a pre-soak prior to setting everything up. All of the pieces clicked together easily and quickly, so set up was a breeze. Some of the bonuses I noticed right away when placing this down is; It isn't easy to tip over, even if your cat put their front paws onto this to drink it won't tip over so there is no worry about spills. It is battery operated & according to the website it will run for up to 120 days on a single charge, We've only had it set up for a few days so I can not 100% confirm this however I haven't noticed any drops in the battery charge yet and have had no issues with it. Being able to charge this separately from the fountains means there are no wires leading to the fountain so there is no risk of your pet chewing on the wire, tripping over a wire or other wire related hazards. 

I also like that it is taller so pets won't have to lean down as far to get a drink of water, my cat seems to enjoy that it is at chest level. There are also two different modes you can set this to, the first is a motion sensor which will detect your cat from 5-8 inches away, it could be due to how open our kitchen is but I have found it to be a little more sensitive than  that & it can detect me from further than eight inches away. The second setting will release water every fifteen minutes which can further help keeping the water circulating & filtered allowing for cleaner water. It does make a very soft noise when on, but most people won't notice it, the only reason I did was I happened to be in the kitchen when it was extremely quiet in the house and could make out the slight noise it made. It holds quite a bit of water as well, so if you go on vacation for a few days you can be sure your furry friend will have plenty of water.

It may take your furry friend a few days to get used to the new fountain, but once they get the hang of it and realize what it is they will start to use it more. My big guy took a little bit to get used to the new fountain in his food area, but seems to be getting used to it now and I've seen him use it a few times. Over all this fountain feels like it will be a great fit in our home! If you feel like your cat could benefit from a fountain like this, or you have a cat that doesn't like drinking from bowls this is a great option to look into. If you aren't in the market for a cat fountain, but want to see what else Uah Pet has to offer they also sell grooming tools, toys, and more for both cats & dogs so check out their website or look them up on amazon.

Turn your pet into a work of art! Crown & Paw Review.

 

We are a family that loves to decorate our home with all the things we love from collectables to large photo frames filled with loving memories. It is always fun to add something new to our walls, and when I spotted the canvas prints by a company called Crown And Paw, I knew that they would fit in perfectly. Crown And Paw doesn't sell any ordinary canvas prints, what they sell is a product that is whimsical, amusing and a fun change from a normal photo put onto a canvas. They will take a photo of just your pet or your pet and humans and turn them into works of art. What do I mean by that? See the photo below and you'll know exactly what I mean. 


If you've ever seen one of those paintings of cats and dogs as renaissance characters and thought about how funny it would be to see your pet in one, now you can at an affordable price! They used to sell pet only prints, however they recently started allowing customers to include themselves in the photo with their pets as well. To help promote this new addition I was asked to do a combo canvas for my review.

I knew I wanted our cat Aleistar in it as a fun gift surprise for my husband and when they asked me to include at least one person with him, I wasn't sure who to pick. After a bit of back and forth, and talking with my kids we came to the conclusion that it would be fun to have them as the Three Musketeers. We spent some time looking through photos to find photographs where their faces were clear and would work well with the photo. We ended up going with slightly older photos of the kids, but we are happy with how everything came out. 

We received a 8x10 canvas of our creation and it is quite well made, I've bought a few canvas prints in the past and they've always come with a open back to where the frame sits on the nail or tacks you hang it up with. This canvas has a closed back, they've added a nice thick backing with a hanger on the back. It feels pretty durable while still remaining light weight and the colors are bold, beautiful and rich on the canvas itself. I think the digital artist working on the print did a good job with blending the images a bit to make it look more natural vs being able to see that it is clearly photoshopped. Depending on the number of pets/people in the print they start at $60 and go up from there, they offer discounts during different occasions so keep an eye out.

If you aren't a big fan of canvas prints, they can also print these images on a number of other products including phone cases, blankets and more. There is something for everyone on your shopping list.

Do you have a pet you would get turned into a work of art? Leave a comment below telling me what kind of pets you have, and what kind of outfit or character you'd love to see them as.

Cat Lady Box Review!


My cats are like my kids, I like to randomly pick up a toy or a fun treat for them when I am at the store so when I found out about the Cat Lady Box, it sounded like something I had to check out. There are plenty of subscription boxes out there that are either for a human or specifically for a pet, what sets this subscription apart is it is for both! Each month you'll receive a few adorable cat themed gifts for yourself plus a few toys or treats for your cats.


I managed to get the box open and remove one item from it before Bones came over and wanted to check out what I was doing. She spotted the small stuffed penguin and went right for it! It made me laugh when I saw the penguin inside of the box because she actually has another small stuffed animal she stole from one of my kids that is a penguin as well. 


There are two different subscription options you can select from, the first is the CRAZY Cat Lady box which is the box I described above it comes with 3-4 items for yourself and two items for your cat OR the second option is a Cat Lady box which has 3-4 products just for you (nothing for your cats). A Crazy box is $39.99 a month and the Cat Lady box is $34.99 a month. You can purchase a single box or you can let it renew every month and keep getting purrfect cat themed items.

So what was in the January box and was it worth the $40 price tag? Let's get into the details of what was in the box:

Brilliant Cat Glasses (Retail Value $29.99) - This was a cute set of two glasses that feature cat faces and a star pattern. They kind of remind me of whisky glasses due to their size and shape, they are great for really any type of drink. I think these would be perfect for when we have cookies and milk! The design is cute and they seem to be pretty sturdy, they are easy to wash and they dry quickly.



Mew Year 2021 Shirt (Retail Value $19.99) - How cute is the design on this shirt! It is a great way to welcome the new year and show off your love for kitties at the same time. The shirt fits well and it is quite comfortable, I think this will be a shirt I will end up wearing often. I like that it didn't have a funky smell when it arrived, I always hate ordering shirts online and they show up smelling like hot plastic. 

Fluffy Snowball Cat Pen (Retail Value $5.99) - Pens are one of the office supplies I have the most of, I always like getting new pens and I have them literally all over my house because you never know when you might need a pen. This pen is great for a child or an adult, it adds a little extra pizzazz to your office supplies. 


Petie the Penguin Catnip Toy (Retail $5.99) - When Bones had first come over and tried taking off with this I thought it was because it reminded her of her other toy, or because she loved stuffed animals. I didn't realize at the time it was a catnip toy, but now I can see why she was so excited about it. Along with being just the right size for your cat to drag around the house, the flippers have some crinkle paper in them so they make noise when your cat is playing with it. This is well made and feels like it will last for quite some time especially since Bones never tears her toys apart, she just likes flinging them around and hiding them various places.

Flurry Snowballs Cat Toy (Retail Value $6.99) - Another great cat toy! Both of my cats enjoy chasing this around the house, and the kids love it because it is one of the only types of toys both cats love playing with. The kids can be a little rough on this type of cat toy because the strings that attach the toys to the stick are usually pretty thin, but I have a feeling this toy will last a lot longer than the others.

Cardboard Box (Priceless) - If your cats are anything like mine then the box itself is a present to them, because of the catnip being inside of the penguin my big cat went nuts rolling around in the box and having fun jumping in and out  of it. 

The box also came with a post card that features a Cat Lady Artist, and a Cat Lady sticker! I may be more inclined to like this particular kitty postcard because it kind of looks like my cat Aleister. So as you can see the total retail value of the box is $68.95 which is almost double the price you paid for the box. I personally loved all of the items that came in this box and so did my cats so it was a win-win situation for me. 



I think that this is over all a fantastic idea for a subscription box, What animal owner doesn't like buying special treats for your pet? And as a bonus you get gifts too, heck yes! This time around I also took some clips of my cats helping me do an unboxing of this and I will be uploading a few clips into one or two reels over on my Instagram page.

😻 What do you think of this subscription box? Do you have any pets, if you do leave me a comment letting me know what type of pets you have.

Treat your pet to Raw Paws Pet Foods!


When I am presented with opportunities to review pet products I can never say no! When it comes to the pets in our family they are just as spoiled as the kids are. The two dogs at my mothers house love when I bring goodies over for them! (one of the dogs is mine but lives at her house). I recently received two wonderful pet products from a company called Raw Paws Pet Food and our pets can't get enough of them.


I wasn't sure exactly what to pick to review so instead of selecting something myself, I provided them with a bit of information on the two family dogs. They did a wonderful job selecting two great products suited for our pets, as an added bonus not only did the dogs get a treat but the cat was able to share in the joy as well.


The first product in our package was a bag of Raw Paws Freeze Dried Chicken Pet treats, like most pet foods the smell is a little off but then again it isn't supposed to be appealing to us! This product was sent because the oldest dog at my mothers house is elderly and has stomach issues so this is something that is soft and easy for him to eat. He highly enjoyed these treats (sorry I didn't get a picture, he is old and grumpy so getting photos isn't always easy) and our cat loves these treats as well. He drools while he is eating this because he enjoys it so much, You can see the wet spots on the floor in the image above where he was drooling a bit trying to eat the food as quickly as he could. A 4oz bag can be purchased for $14.99 on their website, depending on the how much you give your cat/dog this bag should last a little while.



We also received a two pack of Jumbo 6" Bully sticks for Sulley Monster. He typically goes through chew toys quickly so treats like this are ideal as they last a bit longer. He enjoyed chewing on this for a few days before it was gone. They came in a re-seal-able bag which is nice because it keeps the other stick fresh until we are ready to give it to him. You can purchase a two back of bully sticks for $15.99 on their website! Both of these products seem like they are high quality and made with love for the pets they are delivered to, if you are a pet owner I suggest checking out their products.

Do you have any pets? What kind of treats or toys do you like to spoil them with?

Cat Scratching post shopping with Tuft + Paw

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Tuft + Paw for the review  free of charge.**


When looking for a scratching post for your cat, what should you look for? There are dozens of different brands out there that sell scratching posts so looking for one might seem a little daunting, but if you try to narrow down your cats likes before purchasing a post it can be a big help.

Aleister is a bit of an odd ball cat who acts more like a dog, however he does still like using a scratching pad to help his claws + teeth so I wanted to get him something a little more than just the cardboard scratcher he is currently using. He doesn't usually like laying on furniture in the house, he prefers to be under your feet or laying somewhere on the floor. Aleister use to have a big cat tower, but he literally never used it since he had other spots he preferred to lay so when looking for a post I avoided any that had sleeping ledges and opted for a stand still post with just a scratcher.



Through Tuft + Paw we were sent the Turrim scratching post in Black Bird which retails for $139. It stands at 28" tall which is just the right size for him when he stands up to stretch and scratch on it at the same time. The scratcher came in two pieces, the base and post were wrapped separately in the box along with the hardware to put it together. Putting the base and post together took two minutes, it shows you which side the seam of the post needs to go on, then once it is in place you just need to drill (or screw) in four screws then you are done!

The post is heavy duty and weights about three or four pounds so it is light enough to re-locate to a new spot in the house when ever you'd like to move it but heavy enough that your cat won't be able to knock it over. The post itself is infused with the scent of organic catnip & is wrapped in incredibly durable + natural sisal fibers.It feels kind of like thick carpeting, I was a bit worried his claws might get stuck in the fibers but he hasn't had any issues so far and seems to be enjoying the post. I don't think it is heavily scented with the organic catnip scent as it took him a while to want to use this post but once he did he has used it every day since. The base is made from real wood so it has that nice wood scent to it when you first open it, I also liked that they offered different colors so that you can pick which suits your house better.


If you want something a bit more than just a post Tuft + Paw has several other scratching posts, beds, tress and more all ranging in price and activity level.

Chewy.com - The wave curved cat scratcher

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.**



The big old fur ball Aleister and I recently received the OurPets "The Wave" curved cat scratcher to test out for a review. He is oddly picky about what he will decide to play with or scratch even but he absolutely loves cardboard scratchers. We were buying small pads from the dollar tree because of how easily he seemed to tear through them.The others last about two weeks so I wanted to see how long this one would last.



The scratcher is light weight, doesn't take up a ton of room and is easy to store when we don't want it out on the floor. We've had the scratcher for about a month now and as you can see from the photo located below this paragraph, he hasn't done a ton of damage to the scratcher even though he uses this multiple times a day. Along with scratching at this he also enjoys biting it and laying on it so I'd say he very much enjoys the wave scratcher and price wise it wasn't too bad at $11.99 since it has doubled the amount of time we've had it from the dollar scratchers we were buying and it seems like it will last for some time to come as well.




Don't think this specific scratcher would suit your cat? Don't when you type in cat scratcher they show 115 results! Chewy.com offers dozens of pet products for small animals and even large animals such as a pet horse and they are all at great prices.

Chewy.com - Frisco Cat Litter

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.**



I know most of you have seen or heard commercials for Chewy.com but have you actually tried out their services? I personally love Chewy and no not just because I get the chance to work with them but because they have such a large selection of pet products, and offer more brands than my local pet stores. Their website makes it easy to spoil my family members pets and it will be easy for you to spoil your pets as well with their great prices.



This big fur ball has a bit of a stomach issue which can be a bit stinky so we've been looking for a good litter that helps mask the smell and doesn't leave a bunch of litter trailed all over. If you are on the search as well Chewy.com has 157 listing of different litters so you are bound to find the one that is right for you. I recently received the Frisco Lightweight Floral Fresh Scent Multi-Cat Clumping Cat Litter to try out with Aleister. A 10lb jug retails for $7.49.




I generally like lightweight litters because they seem easier to scoop and don't clump as hard as some of the large chunk litters. Frisco is lightweight and helped prevent a decent amount of litter box smell, however I didn't like how much dust it seemed to put off when being poured into the pan even from a short height. It also tracked quite a bit because it seemed to cling to his fur. I think this litter would be best for short haired cats. With the size of our litter box we managed to get two full uses plus a few topper pours when scooping out the box from this container size, for the price that is pretty good. Even though this litter didn't work completely work out for us it may suit your cat better.

Do you have any pets? Leave a comment below letting me know what kind of treats you like buying for your pets. If you don't have any pets what kind of pet would you want to get?

Chewy.com - Greenies Dental Treats Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.**


Each month I receive the chance to work with Chewy to review and item or two from their website, when the box comes is the pets favorite time of the month. Last month one of the two items I picked out was the Greenies Variety Pack Regular Dental Dog Treats which came in three flavors - Fresh,Original and Blueberry.


I like that these treats are specially formulated to help your dogs dental hygiene, the treats have a unique texture which fights plaque & tartar to keep their teeth clean and help keep their gums healthy.The blueberry treat smelled almost good enough to eat, and hey during a zombie apocalypse who knows maybe you'd be willing to eat one however I choose not too so I can't say how they taste all I can tell you is they smell like people food. 

Some dogs can be a bit picky when it comes to treats so having three different flavor options is nice because if your dog doesn't like one he might like the other two. Thankfully my mom's dog Sulley Monster isn't picky when it comes to treats and will gobble up anything given to him so he was more than happy to be the product tester for these treats. 



Chewy.com sells this pack of Greenies for $33.99 and every time I have ordered something through them shipping is always super fast. I enjoyed this product because the dog thinks he is getting an extra special treat but what he doesn't know is it is helping his teeth as he eats it.

True Chews from Chewy.com!

 **This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy for the review free of charge.**



The pets in my family absolutely love that we get to work with Chewy on almost a monthly basis because it means they get treats and goodies. I spoil my family’s pets as much as I spoil my kids, I grab toys from the store, get items for reviews and more so every time I head over to my mom’s the animals look for treats. Each month I have an opportunity to review two items from Chewy.com which provides a large assortment of pet products (and books/coloring books for their humans).



This month one of the products I received is from a brand called True Chews who sells a selection of natural dog treats. I selected the Premium jerky cuts made with real steak in a 10oz bag (it also comes in a 20oz bag).  Here is the description from the website "Because only the best will do for your best friend, reward her with True Chews Premium Jerky Cuts with Real Sirloin Steak Dog Treats. They’re made with U.S.-sourced beef for a high-protein jerky treat that satisfies and nourishes in every bite. Since they contain zero corn, wheat, soy or anything artificial, you can truly feel good about treating your pal every day. Make your canine companion’s journey a little better each day with a delicious, premium-quality treat you can trust because it’s made right here in the USA using only the finest natural ingredients"

The treats look just like beef jerky you’d buy at the store for yourself only larger, if they weren’t in a dog treat bag you could easily get them confused with actual beef jerky. The smell wasn’t bad either, some dog treats and dog good can smell horrible but this had a normal smell to it. Sulley Monster was quite happy with his treats, and was very anxious to the point where he almost wouldn’t sit for photos.

This bag of treats retails for $12.99 which may seem a bit high, but seeing as how they used real steak the price is justifiable plus there is a decent amount of treats in the bag enough to last a week or so depending on how often you give your dogs treats. We generally only give him treats if we are trying to get him to do a trick or during training so this bag will last us a week which is pretty good for him. As always their shipping was super fast so there wasn't a large wait time between when our order was placed and when it arrived to our front door, I can always count on them to be on time.

Chewy.com Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.**


I love the huge variety of brands and products that Chewy.com offers for all types of animals, they offer over 200 brands for cats, dogs, horses, reptiles and more. Each month I am lucky enough to get offered a list of products to select from to review with my pets, this month I selected Tiki Cat After Dark Variety Pack Canned Cat Food 2.8-oz & Purina Pro Plan Savor Tender Strips with Lamb & Sweet Potato Dog Treats.





The Tiki cat variety pack comes with six different flavors of two cans each, I like that it has such a wide variety of flavors for a small box of cat food because it will help spice up your cats meal times. The cans are the perfect size for a meal for a single cat without them over eating or being too hungry in between feedings. This pack retails for $19.33 on Chewy.com

The Purina Pro Plan Savor Tender Strips are bigger than I expected them to be which as you can tell my dog Sulley Monster is pretty excited about, the bigger the treat the better. The treats are tender enough you can bend them easily but they don't break in half from it because they have a decent amount of moisture in them to prevent them from being too hard which is perfect for my mom's elderly dog that can't eat treats that are too hard. Giving the dogs these treats once a day will surely excite your dog and it will be something they look forward to. This pack retails for $7.35 on Chewy.com

Squishy Dog Mat Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Squishy Mats for the review free of charge.**

Squishy Mats were originally created as a soft play place for infants and toddlers but it came to the owners attention that dogs also love these soft and comfortable mats so now they are being marketed as dog mats as well and I can see why! Each mat is 3'x3' and made with a 3/4” memory foam center along with a non-slip backing to help keep the mat in place.




The Soft Minky top layer feels silky and cool to the touch, it will make you want to cuddle with it because of how soft it is. Sulley monster wasn't completely sure what to think of the mat at first when it arrived but he quickly warmed up to the mat and has been relaxing on it every time he takes a nap. I think the mat is just the right size for pooches and babies alike! I wish my mattress topper was made out of this type of cloud like material. When it arrives it does have a bit of a chemical smell due to the bad it is shipped in so I would let it air out for a few hours before letting your pet lay down on this. The 3'x3' mat sells for $69.95 on their website.

Chewy.com Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.****


Considering that we get a box from Chewy almost monthly to review with our pooch you would think he would be used to having to take pictures by now! He is slowly coming around to having to snap a few shots before getting his treat but you can see from the look on his face below that he isn't all too happy about it. In our latest box from Chewy we receive Purina Beyond Cutlets Chicken Dog Treats & a Nutro Kitchen Classics Loaf Variety Pack wet dog food for Dogs.




 Nutro Kitchen Classics Dog Food: This comes with two different flavored dog foods, they are grass fed lamb with brown rice & slow cooked chicken with rice and oatmeal. The price isn't too bad good on this set, you get six 12.5 oz cans for just $10.79 making the cans $1.80 each. The dogs looked like they enjoyed the food, they didn't leave any behind and they didn't seem overly picky about eating it. Looks wise it looks similar to other dog food brands and smelled about the same as well.





Purina Beyond Cutlets Chicken Dog Treats: I don't usually like starting reviews off with the negative of the product first but yuck! These treats stink.  I know they are meant for dogs and that they shouldn't appeal to our senses but not all dog products smell that bad but this wasn't one of them. On a more positive note each treat was pretty large and thick vs being thin and easily broken into two. The dogs loved these and couldn't get enough of them! You can see how he is giving me the stink eye in the photo above, he just wants the treat instead of taking photos. This sells for $9.49 on their website.
