Special Shipment

August 10, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat31 Comments

I can't wait to dig into all the treats and toys inside!

Look what arrived on my doorstep! A huge box from Mr. Chewy! Can you believe it? I bet there is all kinds of good stuff inside — after all, I’ve seen the tasty food and treats many of my friends have received!

I can't believe my human did this to me.

What? My human had Mr. Chewy send her Blue Buffalo’s new cat litter?! That’s not right. That is like if a human is expecting a box of chocolates and gets a package of toilet paper instead!

I'm going to show my human just what I think of this litter... wait, that's exactly what she wants me to do.

Well… I guess we could always use litter, and within hours of topping off the old litter with the new Blue Buffalo stuff, we had all used it at least once. So it works for us, and since it is made out of walnut shells, it is environmentally friendly. But still, I think my human owes me one.

Can you see me in the background?

Even if we did get an awesome box!

    NO TREATS?!?!? Yea, give your human a roll of the toilet paper and see how SHE feels! Hmm. Well, I didn’t know Blue made litter. We do chow their dry food–but still–NO treats??

    What a disappointment getting cat litter instead of something exciting. We would go and poop on it if we were you. Oh wait a minute, that’s what you’re supposed to do.

    We have been using it (the quick-clumping – we guess, single cat type) for a little while (still on first box with somewhat mixed kinds). It does seem to track less (our tile is off-white), but sticks to plastic (i.e. the box and the scooping implements) more. And we question dark brown for litter – something else is that color, so it’s hard to get it all, know what we mean? Taffy has allergies, so the vet had suggested trying something other than the BB corn litter. She (Taffy, not the vet) would go into a fresh box and *lick it up*, plus would be grooming it off of her fur. So jury is still out for us.

    Well, that’s a bit disappointing. We got a box from Mr Chewy today, coincidentally, and it was full of food. Scarlett and Melly, of course, are much more interested in the packing paper.

    Sparkle, we love your expressions! well, the box is a small consolation prize but we don’t see how your human could have missed the treats and toys.

    We are intrigued by the litter – walnut shells! we can’t use the wheat or corn stuff cuz Minnie eats it…wonder if she’d eat walnut shells…

    Well, at least you got a pawesome box! You’ll have to update us on that litter. We tried it and since our boxes are in the walk in closet in Mommy’s office, we only got to use one bag before she thought it stunk too much. Daddy said it tracked the same as anything else too. If the three of you have good luck with it, we’ll try it again since we know we don’t stink.

    Yikes Sparkle that is a little disappointing we agree!

    What is the dust factor like with that litter? We tried the corn litter for a while and found it was even dustier than the clay stuff! We’d certainly be open to changing to walnuts 🙂

      So far it seems to be less dusty and track less than the corn… although on the tracking part, the bathroom tile is black and the litter is dark brown so maybe it is just harder to see!

    It was nice to see Boodie! And you did get a big box Sparkle and I somehow suspect you are not lacking for treats….

    You were robbed, Sparkle.
    Box or no box, there should have been at LEAST a small toy. Maybe a feather.

    How about you go have your way with her toilet paper now? That’ll show her.

    That would be a let down. Sigh. Well let us know how you like the new litter and if it’s absorbent or not…

    bummer – you would think there could have been at least a treat or two snuck in that box (though the box IS pretty awesome)
