Bunny’s Furr & Feathers FunPacks is a hit in my home. My 5 cats LOVE it.

I love how there are kitties stamped all over the box. I also appreciate the hand written thank you inside each month. I might add that Bunny & Chris read all blogs and FB posts. How do I know? I mentioned some cat treats my cats were gaga over and she made it a point to get some in this box.

So this month we have a super cute Meowloween bandana. (Mac you better run!)

Petstages Jingle & Roll toy with bells and feathers.

Meow Merlot (the treats I was talking about!!!)

3 Burrowed Mice in some potent nip. Mimi is in love.

Finally Happy Mon Cat Treats in Island Anchovy. I’m rather surprised the box isn’t shredded!

Even though I cancelled, it wasn’t fast enough and they already processed September, which I didn’t get until a week ago. On that note I received an e-mail that they were going to put their subscription box part of their business on hiatus. They went on to say that they need to revamp it. Sorry to say, but I’m not shocked. I wish them the very best and if they fix their shipping issues and possible lower their cost I’ll be back. In the mean time, here is September’s box.

According to the information sheet this month is “Harmonic Hair Care, Part two of two”. The actual company brand is Intelligent Nutrients. Last month they didn’t let on that they would be sending products from the same brand two months in a row. Needless to say, I’m not happy.

Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Leave-In Conditioner 6.7oz ~ Value $31

Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Volumizing Spray, 6.7 fl oz ~ Value $31

I paid for this box and all grumpy opinions are my own. ~D
