Fishtastic Fun with KitNipBox

This aquarium-themed box was purrfect for our cats!

 

Normally swimming with the fishes is not a good thing, and cats can’t exactly be trusted around fish bowls – but thankfully, this is a safe way for our cats to have some fun, haha!

 

March was my second time ordering the KitNipBox, the first being for Christmas at the recommendation from Carrie at Curly Crafty Mom.

 

Draino and Pepper had so much fun with their Christmas goodies that I wanted to try it again in a few months. Some cats would definitely benefit from getting the box once per month if they’re younger or just super playful. Our Draino is an older cat and while Peppy is only a few years old, she is my lap cat and doesn’t have the energy she used to have. So I think getting the box every few months works best for us!

 

If you’re interested in checking out the KitNipBox for your furry feline, I’d love for you to use my link and you can save 15% on your first box! This gives me a 15% off discount too and our kitties (and me!) would be so grateful!

 

I’m sharing some photos of the fun below with their most recent box!

 

Fishtastic Fun with KitNipBox Arrival

The cats get excited when they know a box is for them! I always put it on the floor and they go straight to it, waiting for me to open it up. In fairness, they also get excited for us to empty boxes that aren’t for them, but they like to claim the box itself as their own, haha.

 

KitNipBox Contents

This box had the cutest little toys! Of course Pepper had to dive into the box first. Draino being the older cat, and just more timid in general, she waits until I start giving her toys to come play.

 

Cats Playing with KitNipBox

They had a blast rolling around and playing with their toys. I always let them sniff the toys out first before I let ‘dad’ do all the opening for them. šŸ™‚ Draino’s favorite was the clownfish originally but then she took up with the blue shark.

 

Pepper’s favorite started out as the blue shark, but she really likes to chase the Starfish wand. In true fashion, she doesn’t seem to want to play with it as designed, instead she likes for me to run around the house with it and she chases it!

 

Fishtastic Fun with KitNipBox PIN

That’s a wrap on this fun KitNipBox post, friends! I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the fun toys and treats that come with these boxes, as well as our little fur-babies playing with them!

 

Have you subscribed to the KitNipBox before or any other fun pet subscription boxes?

    What an adorable box! I would love to get this for my kitties but they already have a billion toys and they would rather play with the shipping boxes we get on a weekly basis. Lol!

      Haha, I so get that, my dear friend! We live in a cardboard factory truly, the kitties love playing in the boxes or even just with other simple things, like my hair ties or the rings off of milk jugs!

    The aquarium-themed KitNipBox sounds like a hit with your cats! It’s great to find safe and engaging ways to entertain our furry friends. It’s nice to hear that they enjoyed their Christmas goodies and that you found a frequency of box deliveries that works well for your cats’ energy levels. Thanks for sharing your experience!

So I whipped up my favorite quick and easy chicken tortilla soup, and it really hit the spot! Warm, comforting, and perfect for nights when you want something delicious without spending all evening in the kitchen.

Ā 
🄣 Chicken Tortilla Soup — Stovetop
Ā 
Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked — diced or shredded)
• ½ cup diced yellow onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 oz) can corn — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can original Rotel — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• ½ tsp chili powder
Ā 
Directions
Add everything to a pot on the stove, mix well, and let simmer for 1 hour. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits, but since everything’s already cooked, it’s ready once heated through!
Ā 
Top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires. 🤤 I love to serve this soup with cheesy garlic bread!
