Review Day

Hi,

Today is another review day. This time we are reviewing 3 sets of cute cat toys for the kitties! (Duh, they always get what they want lol). This is another older review, I am unaware of the exact date I reviewed them, but it was some time ago. They are 3 gold fish toys (and I mean the snack shapes, not the actual live fish), 3 strawberries, one chocolate dipped one, one vanilla dipped one, and one strawberry dipped one, and 4 candy bunny peeps! One blue one, one pink one, one yellow one, and one purple one!  
Pictures are below:

Here is the link to her Etsy shop: Here!

Their smiles and eyes are rubed away though, in fact they were already half way gone when I got them. But my 3 girls still love them regardless of their facial features. ;-)


These are so cute that they actually have stems and strawberry seeds! I just love them! The only thing is is that Nico really liked the pink one, and now that he's dead it makes me a bit sad to see it lying around on my floor. :-(  I have a whole file bucket in my closet that contains 90% of Nico's belongings, but a few things hang around; he had so many things I can't keep in his memory box, that either won't fit due to size or it would break; he has many thank-you notes, love-notes, and sympathy-notes, after he died and when he was alive. I have at least $600+ dollars worth of notes for Nico before and after he died, but to me and him they are worth their weight in solid gold.



These simply just don't get any cuter than this. My felines love them, the blue one is Nico's and is very important to me as it is a peice of him. These (like all of the toys) have fresh and organic catnip inside of them!


 This picture is suppose to be long-ways.


Saphira loves 'em!


Again this picture was suppose to be long-ways. Just look at the adorable little pink bow attached!



Note: I only originally asked if I could do a review for just the gold fish, but the shop owner on Etsy was very nice and generous and included the bunny peeps and dipped strawberries!! She was such a nice person!! :-) 


Pros:

• Fast shipping
• Fabulous customer service; she is an incredibly nice women
• Cats love them
• Fresh and certificated organic catnip inside
• Made well and look real
• Strong material



Cons:

• The gold fishes' eyes and smiles rub away very easily





Hugs,
Ragdoll Mommy~

Review Day

Note: This review will be short due to the holidays coming up! 

Note: I cannot seem to find the shop owner on Etsy, so I will not add a link. Sorry for the troubles!

Today is a review from an Etsy shop. This time it is two awesome cat toys! One is a sea star. Yes, they're called sea stars, not star fish. Because they are actually indeed not even fish! The other toy is, well, I forget; I accidentally kinda broke it when I opened the box. :-( But the cats still love and play with it! :-) I wish I hadn't broke it.
This is the one I broke by mistake. Oops. I think it was a ring? The cats now play with it as a ball now. 

Sea star - the cats like this one a little better than the toy I broke, but they all play with them both. These toys do not contain any trace of catnip inside, so these would be good for cats and kittens who don't care for catnip, but two of my cats do. Star likes it sometimes, but not always.






Pros:

• Good shipping
• Cats like them
• Cool colors
• Nice customer service
• Hand made
• Strong material 
• Nice prices
• No catnip for cats who don't like it




Cons:

• No catnip, which is a con for my cats. But remember, that every cat is different so this varies from cat to cat

Keep Seeing My Dead Cat?

Call me crazy, nuts, weird, an idiot, whatever. But I literally saw Nico at 12 AM. But I know what I saw. This photo is not of him as of now, but it is one of him after he was dead. I have seen Renato once or twice after he died, but I keep seeing Nico almost daily. I'm not sure if he was jealous over my past relationship with Renato, (and for getting him so fast after Nico died), or could he be checking on Anya? Or me? Nico and Anya were littler mates. I keep seeing Nico and I don't know why so often. I love his "visits", but they also remind me of what I once had and never will again. I don't want his "visits" to stop, and I feel blessed that they happen so damn often, but I'd like to know why -- why not Renato? Or Tadpole? Or anybody else (both human and animal).







Any advice? If I don't receive any comments big deal, as I also have other ideas...

Review Day

First I am proud to announce that I am now down to only 4 reviews left! Yay!


This one came from a Shop on Etsy, I was originally sent 8 cat toys, but now we're now down to only 4. I have no clue where the other 4 went. Maybe my closet? Under my bed? I would have to look. 

They look a lot like figure eights, don't they? Both Renato and Nico liked playing with them before they passed away. They are knitted yarn on top of black hair ties. I hope the hair ties hadn't already been used! Gross! But more than likely they're not. I wouldn't recommend these to cats under the age of 1 year, as they're kinda flimsy and break easily. But cats do love them. Indeed they do. I can't recall the *exact* price, but I think they were around $8 dollars. 

Saphira.






Pros:

• Good customer service
• Okay shipping
• Cats love them 
• 8 toys
• Good prices
• Hand made





Cons:

• Not for little kittens!
• Break easily 
• Flimsy
• They get lost easily too

Review Day

About 1 week ago, I got to review 12 cans of grain free/by-product free canned cat food. It is made by Tiki, I love Tiki cat and it is now one of my top 5 favorite cat foods to feed my 3 girls. This review came from Chewy. Com, and as always I am very happy with this review. In addition to 12 cans of food, there is also 9 fine flavors, what a bargain!! The cats first flavor they tried was the Beef and Liver, the last flavor they tried was the Tilapia.
This food is USDA certificated and safe for human consumption! Wow!


This review is short as it is crazy busy around here! But here is the link to Chewy. Com

Pros:

* Fast shipping
* Great customer service
* Cats love it
* USDA certificated and safe for human consumption
* Grain free/by-product free
* 9 flavors





Cons:

* Bonito Tuna made Saphira vomit

Double Review Day:

I have two long over due reviews, one is from somewhere between November (2013) -February of  2014. The other one is from May 2014 I think. The reason I have been so damn slow to get my reviews done, is because its been crazy as fuck around here!!


The two products are from two different shop owners on Etsy, I can't take the stress of this any longer, so I am now doing double review days, this is the last time I try to handle over 200 products from 500 companies! You may think I'm lying but I have at least 14 reviews I need to do (not counting the two I'm doing now), one review on the way, and at least 2 companies that have me on their next blogger review list! This year has been out of control. I promise 2015 to be clutter free! That will give me 12 peaceful months of blogging and reviewing, I look forward to 2015....


Listen, I'm in deep shit if I fail to get these reviews done before January, so I need to get them done ASAP or I'm going to have some furious shop owners/companies from people, and not to mention emails. And trust me, who the fuck wants to go through what I'm going through? No one, I thought so. So please bear with me for 2 weeks+ at least to get these done, expect to have Mondays and Saturdays free of reviews, as that is when I do Nico and Renato Monday, and my PhotoHunts on Saturday, but this isn't a guarantee, unfortunately. I forgot to do my PhotoHunt last Saturday again. Fuck.... 


Fucking Blogger is a bitch, and deleted my saved 3 hour review for the other product I wrote, so now I have to go re-write the whole fucking thing some other day. But for now enjoy just one review...


The first one is 6 catnip toy pillows from an Etsy shop, I cannot find the fourth UF pillows unfortunately, my cats are masters at hiding stuff from me, but then again what cat isn't? 










They are hand made with organic catnip inside. The cats love them, and play with them a lot. Two of the UF pillows are orange on the back and say "University of Florida" (aka UF), and the other two pillows are blue on the back and say the same thing. On the front is the same Gator/UF collage, on all 4. And it is shown on the picture above. The other two pillows are pictured above. 





UF pillows.



Under side.





What UF stands for.



Note: if you don't care for UF, then there are a few other teams you can choose from




Pros: 

• Fast shipping
• Good customer service
• Cats love them
• Catnip stuffed
• Strong material



Cons:


• A few of the stitches on the outer rims are coming a bit loose. 









The next review is pictured below:

Short n' Quick Review

Hi,

This review will be short as I have 10-14 reviews I have to get done before 2015 or I'm in deep shit! I probably have some furious people awaiting their "promised" reviews. 


Here is her shop: Here!

And here is a link to her cat toys: Here!
This review was suppose to get done when I did a review for Chewy. Com (this one is from Etsy) but for some reason only the Chewy. Com review got published. Oops. I'm driving myself insane with this 3.5 inch iPhone 4S screen. This phone is great for texting, calling, emailing, and whatever else, and while its  fine for a quick blog post like Nico and Renato Monday, etc, but not for reviews!!! I'm going to quit my bitching here and get on to this review now.



Some time in December; yes, December I was asked to do a review for 3 cat toys, (as pictured above). Star loves all of these toys, Anya only likes the ball, Saphira likes the ring. 


They're high quality, hand made, and the cats love them, the ball has catnip in it. 


Ring.


Ball.


Star? Not sure what this thing is, but Star loves it!



Pros:

• Cata love them
• Hand made
• Catnip in the ball
• Fast shipping
• Good customer service
• Strong material



Cons:

Nothing here!






Note: I've lost the shop name, so I cannot do the link up. Plus iPhones don't do link ups.

When I'm Gone

4 Months without my soulmate. Nico & Anya are like my children I never had, they were my inspiration for Life with Ragdolls, they are my future inspiration as a writing, as a Ragdoll breeder, as everything. I'm going to admit that a few years ago, I didn't care about anything, but starting over. Nico&Anya helped me achieve that through lots of pain and tears. Nico is my inspiration for becoming a breeder, to breed out HCM, to find a cure for it. 


Was Renato being related to Nico reality or a conspiracy? Who's heard of the saying: "If you love something then let it go, if it doesn't come back to you then it never really was yours, but if it comes back to you then it was always yours?"

After all Renato means to rise again/reborn.






"Somethings never fade"

Nico/Renato Monday & a Review

On the way home from NC.

Our moving buddies; helping me unpack after our move in 2013.




This review is from Chewy, but it wouldn't publish for some weird reason, so I'm doing it now, this review will be short, as I'm not feeling too great today. This Tropi Clean  + Hip & Joint keeps cats and dogs breath fresh for up 12 hours, you put it in their water bowl and they drink it. I think this was more designed for dogs than cats (even though it is meant for both), but my cats don't really care for it as much as I would like -- bummer. But it does get the job done...


I rate it 2 out of 5 stars. 


Pros:

• Keeps pet's breath fresh up to 12 hours
• Works well
• Great customer service (as always)
• Fast shipping 97% of the time
• Smells okay
• Made in USA


Cons:

• Cats won't drink it too much
• Made Saphira's gums irritated
• Kinda pricey
• Some concern-full ingredients
• Stains water bowl a bit (will come out after being washed).

PhotoHunters: Hero

I feel like a hero, when Nico stopped breathing and I gave him feline CPR. I'll never forget what a hero I am. I did the same for Renato. But Nico will always have a claim on my heart.

It Ends Tonight

Don't know why, but Blogger has been a real bitch this month, I can't do reviews anymore, and now I'm more stressed than ever to get these reviews done, I won't be able to do them until Dec-Jan, ugh. Kill me. This blog will be open to the public until 11/8/2014, until then I quite blogging, as it is too much of a hassle to work with. Sorry to disappoint people, but on 11/8/2014, Life with Ragdolls will be kept private.

Reviews From Chewy. Com:

I have two reviews for today from Chewy. Com


First is Zuke's G-zee's Cat Treats. These treats have great ingredients, and the cats loved them. The only thing I don't like about Zuke's, is that Purina now owns that company. I don't like Purina, they're a bad company in my opinion.
The cats really liked these however, they only have 2 calories per treat, so they are awesome if you're trying to get your cat to lose some weight; Saphira is on a diet, she's about 12lbs and I'd like her to get to about 10 or 9lbs. So these are awesome.

Saphira.

Back of it. 


They are a little smaller than a penny.



Pros:

• Good customer service
• Fast shipping
• Cats loved them
• Good ingredients; Star is allergic to corn, soy, and grains, so these were very helpful and nice.
• Good prices



Cons:

• They are difficult to break, I would not recommend them to older cats or kittens. You can not leave them out long or the cats won't eat them because they're stale and hard. 

Over all I give these 4 out of 5 stars. 



The next one is also from Chewy. This one is from Tropi Clean Hip & Joint +. You're suppose to put some in your cat's or dog's (it is for both animals) water bowls, and it is suppose to keep your pet's breath fresh for up to 12 hours, however my cats will rarely drink it if it is in their bowl.

Note: Nico was NOT an outdoor cat. I was with him 24/7!

Renato Could Of Been 5 Months Old Yesterday!


Happy imaginary 5 months to Renato!


As one angry follower commented: " She WILL pay for this outrageous disgrace! She should suffer the same thing as poor little Renato did, but more drawn out and more painful." 



I agree :-)






Have a great day!

Thanks!

Thank you, Chewy. Com! I've never seen such kindness from total strangers, I've done reviews for them in the past and have two I need to get done, which I will do soon. I'm sick though. We will always remember Nico and Renato, Renato had 5,000+admirers, Nico on the other hand a whooping: 25,000+!!!

I will do my PhotoHunt when I get home; forget to take a pic before I left!
