Love Lu Crochet Catnip Toys Etsy Shop Review and Giveaway

Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog!  We would like to take this opportunity to apologize for our absence this past week.  As many of you know we have just undergone a major move into our new home and there is still lots to be done, unpacked, and put away.  Not to mention, a spotty Internet connection..  But, we will do our best to continue bringing you the awesome product reviews brought to you by The Three Whiskateers.  Which, by the way, are FINALLY all together at last!  So, without further ado, Scooter, Smudges, and Shadow would like to introduce you to the Love Lu Crochet Catnip Toys Etsy Shop!

The Love Lu Toys Etsy Shop offers one-of-a-kind handmade crocheted toys for kitties.  They also have some heart-meltingly adorable people toys too!  Laura, the owner, very graciously sent our three product reviewers two of their toys to try out, the Catnip Snake Toy and the Octopus Catnip Toy.


About Them

The Octopus Catnip Toy has eight adorably curvy legs that hang down and will surely catch any cats attention.  I know I have never seen anything quite like it before.  The same goes for the Catnip Snake Toy.  Not only had we never had the pleasure of trying a crocheted catnip toy (LOVE it!), we have never seen a snake cat toy anywhere!  The colors are bright and playful and these toys definitely stand out!  They are both filled with catnip and poly-fill and made with 100% acrylic yarn.

What The Three Whiskateers Thought

The first cat who came running when I opened the package was Scooter.  The ever-playful little kitten became overcome with excitement at this bright new octopus toy that I had given him.  He immediately began wildly playing with it.  Needless to say, he adored it!


The next cat who's interest was piqued was Shadow.  Seeing that, unless I wanted to lose a finger, I shouldn't take the octopus away from Scooter, I let Shadow be the first to try out the snake toy.  He barely had a chance to sniff it,


before he was ambushed for it!


Then, before either of them could even get close, Scooter swooped in and grabbed it.


The snake toy is definitely Scooter-approved!


And, once Scooter was distracted with the snake toy, Shadow and Smudges finally had a chance to try out the octopus.


And playtime ensued!


So what did they think?  I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that these kitties loved these toys!  They had a blast playing with them, and I had a blast watching them play!  The toys are durable, cute, and kitty approved!  So go check out Love Lu Toys.  And, if you decide to get some of these awesome toys for your cats, just make sure you get enough so they won't fight over them :0)

We Are Moved In!

Things are really crazy over here because the humans and the kitties of The Three Whiskateers are officially ( and FINALLY ) moved into our new home!  This marks two huge milestones for us.  Our first house, and the first time that all three of our kitties have lived together under one roof.  Just to be clear, Tyler is not living here yet.  Right now it is all mine!  And he will move in with me just as soon as we are married.  It's not the nicest, newest, or best house out there, but it is ours!

There are boxes everywhere, the house is a wreck, and I am exhausted.  I won't write too much today because of the latter.  But, I will write more about the cats adjusting to their new home later.  It's quite interesting around here as this is a new territory and Shadow, the alpha male, has to assert his dominance over the Scooter and Smudges...  Any tips for getting this to stop or at least calm down a bit?  Or just any tips for moving to a new house?  We could use all the help we can get!  For now I shall leave you with these pictures of our door and the welcome sign I made for it and our absolutely gorgeous new fireplace!  More to come later.  <^..^>



Oh and come back soon because we have some new reviews and giveaways happening soon!  Thanks for reading!
