Good morning and happy Monday! Whoops! I hope the box contents are good this time, since you didn't mean to actually receive it LOL. Kind of a stroke of luck for us viewers, since the boxes you intended to get haven't arrived yet. Sidenote, I'd forgotten how cute their logo is :-‍)

Oh, that card is adorable! I am definitely a fan of the big-eyed-void style of drawing a black cat, as well as cats-sitting-in-a-thing so this is right up my alley. (Ha, alley cat, lousy joke not intended but I'm leaving it in here anyway). The color palette is excellent as well. I would happily frame & display that one.

I really like the goodies in this box. While I don't have cats of my own, my Neighbor K has a pretty little grey kitty who would love the toys. The cookie cutter is nice (and makes a good pairing with the one you received previously), and the shopping bag is both whimsical and useful. The fact that the storage bag is attached is a big plus. It's a pity the black got a bit worn off on the welcome mat where the two folds meet, but a Sharpie will probably take care of that, or a spritz of spray paint (after protecting the surrounding area, of course). And then the t-shirt. Yes. That is a wonderful, wonderful shirt. Love the artwork, love the wordplay, love the little Cat Lady logo on the door of the truck, love it all.

I think you were a little unfair in your cost-to-value assessment. Going by local prices - which I realize are probably higher for my area of the country than they are for yours - I'd say $5 *each* for the catnip toys, $20-$25 for the shirt, $10-15 for the welcome mat, $5 for the shopping bag (although that's likely underestimating as well) and another $5-10 for the cookie cutter. (The fact that one might not use it doesn't mean it has zero value; it still cost time & money to design and make) so we're looking at between $50 and $65 retail value, at least in my neck of the woods.

Oooh, Sewers Club on Wednesday. Looking forward to that one for sure :-)

EDIT: Poor tuxedo kitty, just wants to play with the new toy & grey cat won't let them!
