Pets at Home Pets Parcel for Cats Review

So nearly everyone has heard of subscription boxes for humans, where you get sent around five random items to try out each month from different brands but what about buying one just for your pets. Well at Pet at Home they have introduced the idea of a Pets Parcel, that you can buy either your cat, dog or rabbit a box of random surprises.  The cat and rabbit parcels only costs £10 each and the dog parcels start from £15 and all of them can contain at least 5 surprise gifts for your pet. On the Pets at home website it says that in the parcels have specially selected products that range from tasty treats, entertaining toys, hygiene products and more.

Not only are these Pet Parcels are a great way to spoil your pet with once in a while but Pets at Home have made these a fantastic buy. Claiming on their website that "you will save at least 40% when compared with buying the same products separately at standard retail price that means your parcel is worth at least £16.50".


So here is what I found my Pets Parcel for Rosie:

Spot Lap Mat £5.00

Willow Knitted Bird £3.50

Willow Trio Felt Balls £5.00

Sisal Mouse £1.00

Vet Kitchen Little Hearts Crunchy Chicken and duck £1.39

Healthy Bites (around £1.50 not online)

Overall by buying the Pets Parcel, I saved around £7.39 if I brought all the items together and I have to say the box did contain some really nice products that I wouldn't have even thought of buying for Rosie. Her favourite item in the box has to be the Spot Lap Mat because its feels so warm and soft to sleep on. Pets at Home do change the products in the Pet Parcels now and again so I would properly buy Rosie another one in the future.

THINGS I’M LOVING: #1

Instead of doing my monthly favourite posts at the end of every month, I have decided I would do a blog type of series called "Things I'm Loving". This way instead of having to wait till the end of month to talk about products that I love, I will do these types of posts instead, every time I find a few things that I want to share with you all.

So on with the post:

So recently I have discovered this bath bomb called Twilight from Lush, I can't believe I haven't come across this before now because it smells so amazing. To me it reminds me of the time that me and my family went to France and visited a French perfume factory and it just has that smell of French perfume. My sister left this bath bomb unwrapped on her desk and to be honest it did a job of a candle, the scent from it just filled our bedroom for days.

Next on my list has to be this car air fresher I picked up in the Next Home section in the scent Apricot Blossom this smells so fresh and for only for a £1 I thought I would give it ago. It's meant to last up to 6 weeks so for a fraction of the price of a normal car air freshener I am hoping it will make my car smell nice. They also do this scent in a home diffuser and candles which I am very tempted in getting to go in my bedroom.

I couldn't have done a love post without mentioning Rosie, we now had her for a couple of months now and I have to say she has really settled in since we have adopted her into our lives. She has now developed a habit where she will wake me up every morning. Not sure if it's because she missed me or wants to get in to my warm bed (second reason my money on). To be honest I was never a cat person however some weird reason I want really want another one.

What products or things are you loving at the moment?

Rosie's Cat Toy Haul

Every month I find myself buying Rosie more and more toys to play with and this month was no different! So instead of doing your normal haul post, I decided it would be a nice thing to show you what I brought for Rosie and let her show you what she thought of the toys(through photos). I end up buying her Ancol Acticat Plastic Playground, AncolFluffy Dangler Wand and Yeowww Banana.

The reason I went for the Ancol Acticat Plastic Playground for her was because she has a thing about balls that make a sound when they move and she plays football with them around the room so I thought this would be perfect for her. When I first looked into this product I think it was mostly aimed at kittens but for the price I decided to give it a try. The toy has two balls, one on top fastened to a spring and one that rolls around on the bottom when the cat touches it. This toy is perfect for cats to play with on their own especially if you have to leave them for a bit. To be honest Rosie didn't really think much of this toy and I had to tempt her to play with it however she did get the hang of rolling the ball around on the base on her own.

The second toy I got for her was Ancol Fluffy Dangler Wand mainly to stop my fingers getting hurt all the time when she wants to play and this toy is perfect for the job. Rosie love catching the long fluffy feather on the end and rolling around with it on the floor, I think this toy was a hit.

The third toy that I brought her was Yeowww Banana, when we first got her I brought her the Yeowww Fish and she absolutely loved it however since time has passed I think the smell has worn of it so doesn't tend to play with it that much anymore. Because both toys are full of catnip she loves then to pieces, so soon as I got the Banana out of the bag she was rolling around on the floor playing with it. If anyone was thinking about getting something for their cat to play with I would have to say try something from the brand Yeowww because Rosie seems to love their toys. Out of the three toys this is the one she loves the most and has spent the most time playing with.

Time to Meet Rosie

Time to meet someone fairly new who has come into my life; it's time to meet Rosie. Rosie came into my life around the end of March when we adopted her from the Cat protection charity where her old owners didn't want her anymore. After losing my beloved dog last year as a family we decided we didn't really want another dog to replace her however ever since there has been a really big hole in our lives since she went. So we decided due to not having enough time to walk a dog at the moment we have decided to get a cat and we ended up with Rosie. She is a tabby and white mix and is around 4 years old due to being adopted she doesn't have a birth date so her birthday is the day we adopted her.

The staff told us she was a quiet sleepy cat and different really do much but sleep however how wrong could they have been. She is full of life and loves being center of an attention, she also loves sitting on your knee and falling asleep so you can't move for hours. She loves playing in her cardboard box, chasing her balls, food and playing with her toy mice. Like everyone she has a dark side, the side where she wants to bite you and will attack your legs as you step over her. However, to say that cats are very independent every time she does outside she will come back every ten minutes to see where you are and that you not left her then go back outside again.

Adoption Process

Surprising the cat adoption processes is a really easy one, first you go along to the center and the staff will ask you a few questions about your lifestyle and your home and then they will match certain cats that will suit living with you. You then get to meet them and after that you will get a home visit from one of the staff members, then they will give you the green light to pick your cat up. When you go to pick your cat up they tell you to bring a cat carrier to take your cat home in and they ask you to pay a fee for the care they have given the cat.
