We have a little catnip plant in a pot. The one we planted last year got
smothered by a neighborhood cat, so we put this one on the deck, where
we don't usually get feline visitors. I grabed one leaf of it today,
rubbed in on my fingers and approached the cat enclosure. Maya started
yowling real loud when I was still a good 5 feet away. All the cats that
were out came running towards me and started going bonkers rubbing
againts my hand. I decided to harvest a few more leaves and bring them
inside. I rubbed three leaves on their scratching posts and they went
nuts! I'm sad to report that Rufous seems to be a mean drunk. He always
fights with his brother after a catnip dose. Maybe it's just a kitten
thing...

ROFL, Victor. So Rufous is a nasty borracho? Why does that not surprise me?
He's always feisty anyway, isn't he? Lucky you, to grow 'nip right there @
home. How does it feel to be the most popular man on the block? Glad they
all had a good time.

It happens. I had a big lovable boy who was just mush towards every
animal... until he got some nip. He never did outgrow that. So he just had
his nip away from the others.

I'm afraid Frank, the gentlest of gentlecats, is like that, too. After a hit
of nip, he will invariably attack Nikki.

I'm not telling you what he & I get up to when we've partaken of our stash.

I know he gets a lot of surplus energy from nip, so I don't think I want to
know what you two get up to. ;o)

Ah yes. We always warn each other around here when we know one of the cats
has indulged. We tend to play fairly rough with the cats and they don't
bite or claw hard unless they are high. Then all bets are off.
