EM: Ellie Mae
BC: Bear Cat
As you might have noticed earlier this week, Momma's funny is broken and she's devoid of funny inspiration. We're working on another serious post for next week, but I want to do the topic justice and that will require more time. In the mean time, we owe Chewy a review on their Holiday Goody Box for cats. The pictures tell the most of the tail ... err ... tale ...

MK: Are you two ready?
EM: YEAH! What'd we get? What'd we get? And is there any tuna?
BC: Whatever.
MK: TADA!
BC: A box? Unless it's full of bazookas. tanks, and tasty whole chickens ... THIS is what you dragged me out of a nap dreaming about torties and crab cakes for? Momma, you really need to get out m ...
EM: WHOOOOOA! How did you know that this is EXACTLY what I want? You even got the right color! This is the best thing ever! Oh! I'm just try it ...
BC: She just has to make me look bad ...
{Pause}
EM: Oops. You got me a box that's not really a box for me? I don't think I'll fit ... and if I can't fit, I can't sit!
BC: But she manages to make herself look even worse ... you've never let not fitting stop you before! Look out! WIDE LOAD!
EM: This box isn't for me to sit ... it's a box full of ...
BC: Stuff!
EM: YEAH! NOT tuna!
BC: That color makes your butt look even bigger ... no, wait. It has nothing to do with the color. Your butt really is that big!
{Pause}
EM: Wait just a minute ... I smell ... I smell ...
BC: FINALLY! Smellie admits it!
EM: AHA! Catnip!
MK: Get out of the box, Ellie!
EM: But ... but ...
MK: I need to take a picture of the contents of the box!
EM: But ... but ... I'M not part of the contents of the box! First you give me a box that's already full ... and THEN you take pictures of the stuff instead of pictures of me! I need a lap! That's the only thing that will make this better.
MK: It will only take a minute ...{Momma snaps away}. That's a good one ... now I just arrange the rest of this ...
EM: Maybe you didn't hear me ... but I NEED A LAP! The service is horrible around here!
MK: I'll be done in a minute, Ellie. Then you can have my lap.
EM: But ... but ... I found the catnip! I saw ... err ... got it FIRST! Can I have the catnip while I wait?
BC: Niphead. She's stupid even when she's not under the influence.
MK: Look at all this good stuff! Comfort Zone Calming Cat Diffusing Kit, Calm Paws Calming Collar, Solid Gold Triple Layer Cups in turkey and pumpkin, Ethical Pets Shimmer Balls, Inaba Churu Lickable cat treats, Weruva Slide n' Serve pouches in Lamb and Mackeral and ...
EM: XTREME CATNIP!
MK: Xtreme catnip.
EM: That's mine!
BC: Phht. Over my dead body. Chill out! Put on the calming collar! Hahahaha.
EM: Why don't you play with the Shimmer Balls? You know, since you don't have yours anymore.
MK: You two have tried the Weruva Slide n' Serve pouches in Lamb and Mackeral and neither of you touched it.
EM: We didn't eat it either.
BC: TOO. STUPID. TO. LIVE. TOO. STUPID. IT. HURTS.
MK: And we've tried the Royal Canin too. The chunks are kind of big. Bear wouldn't touch it - and Ellie just licked up what little gravy there was. As for the Triple Layer thing, Bear doesn't like pumpkin ... so this might be mostly a bust food-wise. I bet you'll love the lickable treats though - treats like that are the only ones I can depend on that you'll eat.
{Pause}
MK: Let's try the Royal Canin again. Not much gravy ... and almost too big chunks ... but the company has a great reputation. I find it kind of sketchy that there's no indication what meat these pouches contain ... poring over the list of ingredients didn't really impress me either.
EM: WHOOOOOA! How did you know that this is EXACTLY what I want? You even got the right color! This is the best thing ever! Oh! I'm just try it ...

{Momma sets down the plates for the cats}
MK: You two want to play with the balls?
EM: But Daddy said ...
BC: Eh. You've handled one ball, you've handled them all. Now bring me back that catnip!
EM: Momma said you have to share!
BC: Not if I get there first.
EM: HEY! Bear's hogging the catnip!
BC: Don't even think about it!
EM: But Momma said ...
BC: Phht. You know as well as I do that I never listen to her.
EM: MOMMA!!!
BC: MROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
EM: {taking cover under the kitchen table} You have a really bad attitude problem!
BC: No. I have a really big sister problem. And the sister is even bigger than the problem.
{Pause}
BC: That sounded a whole lot better in my head.
BC: There's always an annoying critic.
BC: What's that?
MK: Food.
BC: What kind of food?
EM: {already eating} The yummy kind!
BC: That's a ringing endorsement ... you eat my barf.
EM: Surprisingly, our food tastes the same going down the second time ... well, except for the hair. I eat around that.
MK: Come on, Bear. At least TRY the Royal Canin?
BC: Phht. If I wouldn't eat it the first time ... the best thing I have to say for that food is that it doesn't have vegetables.
MK: PLEASE try it?
BC: What is it?
MK: FOOD!
BC: Yeah, but what kind?
MK: Give me a minute to look over the ingredients and I'll tell you.
{Pause}
BC: So much for a GOODY box. More like a BADDY box.
MK: Catnip?
BC: No thanks. I'm trying to avoid nips.
MK: NO! Not a drink or nip for cats ... CATNIP!
BC: Did you say catnip? Gimme!
MK: Food.
BC: What kind of food?
EM: {already eating} The yummy kind!
BC: That's a ringing endorsement ... you eat my barf.
EM: Surprisingly, our food tastes the same going down the second time ... well, except for the hair. I eat around that.

BC: Did you say catnip? Gimme!
{Pause}
BC: Oh, yeah. That's the good stuff! Even Smellie doesn't look as Smellie with this stuff!
EM: HEY!
EM: HEY!
{Pause}
BC: Oh, yeah. Right there. That's the spot.
{Pause}
BC: Come to papa, my sweet.
{Pause}
BC: I love you, catnip! I love you, carpet! I love I love I love ...
EM: Even me?
BC: Even you? You're not even, you're ODD! Hahahahaha.
EM: You were saying that you love everything. What about me?
BC: This stuff isn't THAT ... I just saw the cheese run away with the spoon!
EM: Did you say cheese?! For some reason I have the munchies all of a sudden! WHOA! There goes the neighborhood after the cheese! The big cheese indeed!
BC: If I just pretend she's not here ... not here ... not here ...
{Pause}
BC: Nope. This stuff is not THAT good.
MK: You two want to play with the balls?
EM: But Daddy said ...
BC: Eh. You've handled one ball, you've handled them all. Now bring me back that catnip!

BC: No. I have a really big sister problem. And the sister is even bigger than the problem.
{Pause}
BC: That sounded a whole lot better in my head.
BC: There's always an annoying critic.
EM: But I want the catnip! You have to share!
BC: As I was saying ...
MK: BEAR! Share with your sister.
BC: If I shared with my sister what I'd like to share with my sister, I'd be in big trouble.
MK: BEAR! Go to your shelf! It's your sister's turn with the catnip!
BC: Well, EXCUSE ME for telling the truth! Like I know what crawled up your butt and died!
MK: Oh, boy. What fun it is to live with TWO cats.
EM: It's more fun than one, right, Momma?
BC: I don't think fun is the word she wants to use ...
UPDATE - The next night we tried the Inaba Churu lickable treats.
I was sure Bear would love them as he does the other brands that make lickable treats. Bear's reaction is obvious ...
Though Ellie gobbled it right up and cleaned her plate.

Chewy is a great company. That box of goodies looks great. Lots of good stuff. You all have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey are a great company!
DeleteThat looks like a great box! We’ve bought a couple of these and gifted a couple, too. We might just have to get this one. Bear, how could you not like the Churu treat. They’re Olive’s all time FAVORITE!
ReplyDeleteI like the cheaper knock off brand. {Momma sighs}
DeleteA holiday box?? That's cool. We like the chicken in a tube--we buy chicken baby food to keep on hand for emergencies.
ReplyDeleteI like the cheaper knock off brand. {Momma sighs} ~Bear Cat
DeleteWhat a nice holiday goodie box! We need one of those Comfort Zone Kitty Calm Thing for Miss Rosie. Teddy prefers to work his stress out through eating.
ReplyDeleteTeddy and I are kindred spirits!
DeleteOh my stars! What a pawtastic box! We need to get our paws on one of those. Thanks for a great review.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! You won't regret it.
DeleteWe think those goodies look pretty darn good here!
ReplyDeleteWe bet "NO SIMON!" will love everything :)
DeleteOh boy, a box like that sounds like it's as bad as getting socks again for Christmas or birthday from a distant relative. Oh well maybe you could do a swap with other Chewy Box owners and get something you like, or take it to a local, rescue. I guess I won't ever be getting one–unless they start doing mice!

Ooooh. A SWAP. Err ... can I trade my sister for your Kraken? ~Bear Cat
DeleteHmm... sounds tempting–but how is she with mailmen? Plus the Kraken asks what size is your hot tub is, and does the boy do massages?
DeletePurrs

The creamy puree stuff looks interesting, but the English on the package is a bit sketchy!
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of weird. And it smells completely different than the variety Bear will eat. He was so excited thinking that's what I was giving him.
DeleteWhoa! A holiday goody box. The RC doesn't list a meat cos there's no real meat in it. HAH! You have the right idea, Bear, head straight for the nip.
ReplyDeleteMy Momma said that too! To read the ingredient list is ... interesting.
DeleteWe might side with Bear on that last one...that stuff was weird looking! :)
ReplyDeleteBoxes are so much fun, but can also bit so hit or miss with fussy - er, particular, animals!
Jan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
The funny thing is that there's a cheaper brand that has essentially the same thing and Bear scarfs those down - but not these.
DeleteGoody boxes are always so much fun! We got to try the patriotic boxes and it was full of yummy surprises :)
ReplyDeleteWe were a bit disappointed ... but maybe next time.
DeleteI lurve Royal Canin Adult Instinctive. LURVE it!
ReplyDeleteI'm NOT a fan. Though I can appreciate that it doesn't have any yucky vegetables in it! ~Bear Cat
DeleteThat’s a great box of goodies! Bear, you don’t know what you’re missing.
ReplyDeleteNo, thanks. ~Bear Cat
DeleteGreat review! That is potent nip in the box. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We agree!
DeleteWhat a great box! It's always fun to get stuff. Enjoy it guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt is fun to get a box of goodies, but I must say I can see why you were disappointed, Bear. It is odd that the ingredients list isn't more helpful on the RC! At least it looks like the nip is a winner.
ReplyDeleteNip is ALWAYS a winner. And it drowns out the sorrow of nameless food! ~Bear Cat
DeleteThat looks like a really good selection of stuff. Bear, sorry you didn't like much of it. Ellie, you sure seemed to like it more. You're such an enthusiastic, happy kitty.
ReplyDeleteMy Momma calls me her happy girl. Well, when she's not clipping my claws anyway. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteChewy.com has the best stuff and selects the most purrfect gifts in beautiful boxes!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Our experience wasn't so great this time ... but I'm sure we'll order again!
DeleteBear Cat you are a cat aftur mee own heart!!! Weruva food iss so so guud! An guud 'nip iss well just purrfect!!! An all THE other kewl stuffs an sparkley balls...it sure ISS a guudy box!!
ReplyDelete***purrss*** BellaDharma
Momma says I'm picky. Hmph. I just demand what I deserve. ~Bear Cat
DeleteMOL Yeah, we're not fond of those lickables either. Mommy said they're really messy. What's the point of a lickable ifin ya' have to use a plate. Sis Lexi used to get one that was a solid lickable and we luvved it. The Chewy goody boxes have left a lot to be desired as of late. At least fur us. The foods aren't that good and there's not enuff really good toys. Glad ya'll enjoyed the nip. Big hugs
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
Dezi and Raena
We completely agree with you.
DeleteWowee! That Chewy Holiday Goody Box is like a treasure chest of awesomeness. Ellie Mae, did you get to lay in the box after all the stuff came out?
ReplyDeleteNeither cat would touch it!
DeleteAMARULA: Bear, far be it for me to ask anything of you--as you know I am just thrilled to bask in your wonderfulness--but you do seem to have a ot of stuff in those boxes so feel free to send some my way!!
ReplyDeleteOr you could come visit ;) ~Bear Cat
