Awesome, thanks for the pics! So do you get a new box every month? I just looked it up online.

The Kitnipbox was 12 1/4 x 8 1/4 and 3 inches high. I would include the tissue paper and box as part of the toys as they're having a ball with them as well. Even though two of the toy cards are the same each toy was different one burlap and the other more like stiff felt paper feel. I opted to NOT get food or treats and 3 of my cats are drawn to anything with cat nip where Mercy is but not to the same extreme. She later snuck up though and claimed the little flower as hers.
So I think for the 30 bucks a month we had a good time. The rule is we're not buying toys in the store anymore.
Also it was such fun to do this with them. It's really an interactive time and I had as much fun as my cats for a few hours. ( They are still playing with the toys on their own)

Yes it's once a month and seems quite easy to change your preferences , I opted to not have food or treats , the size or just cancel. This just made for such a special afternoon for us. I'm also glad I saved it for a day when I had the time to just enjoy myself with them. I did keep it in my trunk until today and that was smart as soon as i brought it in they smelled the cat nip and gathered round.

Finally, finally, I am feeling better! Still have the tight chest and weak as a baby bunny, but not sick at all. It's just a waiting game now.

Orbax is the antibiotic that Demi took for his UTI. I'm so glad it wasn't Baytril, since you warned me about it. Is Orbax safe?

In the PRECAUTIONS section (partial representation):
The use of fluoroquinolones in cats has been reported to adversely affect the retina. Such products should be used with caution in cats. Blindness has also been reported post-approval in cats. In some cases, blindness has been temporary. DO NOT EXCEED 3.4 mg/lb (7.5 mglkg) BODY WEIGHT PER DAYIN CATS. Ifhigher blood levels oforbifloxacin are needed Orbax® (orbifloxacin) Tablets should be used at a dose of2.3-3.4 mg//b (5.0-7.5 mg lkg). On a mg lkg basis, Orbax® (orbifloxacin) Tablets provide higher and less variable plasma levels oforbifloxacin than Orbax® Oral Suspension.


From the FDA site and a pdf on Orbax or the actual name of the drug which is orbifloxacin. It appears to have a higher tolerance threshold than enrofloxacin. And antibiotic with a floxacin on the name of the drug not the copyrighted name by the company is a quinolone.
Veterinarians should discuss the possible side effects with pet owners before sending home a bottle of any drug or antibiotic and it should be mandatory that it be on a print out in common terms any reasonable pet owner could understand.
At this point after what we went though I would ask to see original packaging if given in a pill bottle.
This is a life saving class of antibiotics when used for the correct infections and at the proper dose for the right amount of time. They are able to achieve deep muscle penetration and work where other antibiotics won't. (long story short).
