Usually I don't bother to purchase catnip for Simba and Pepper.  I
have a catnip plant to grow my own.  Both cats seem to react to the
fresh catnip, but have never shown much interest in the dried catnip
from the store.  Well, I managed to kill the fresh catnip plat by
leaving it outside in the planter all winter and I had to stop at
Petsmart anyway so I looked in the catnip isle.  They had a good sized
tub of "premium" catnip on sale.  It was only $1.69, so I figured I
should give it a try.

Apparently when they say premium, they mean PREMIUM.

As soon as the tub was opened two little fuzzy faces stared at me in
anticipation.  I put the catnip in a large shallow box.  The 'nip box
was rolled in, bitten, bunny kicked and totally demolished.  The 'nip
itself was snorted, licked and pounced on.  Next came the
zoomies...several runs around the living room later both cats were
relaxing by the 'nip box, looking completely stoned.

They looked so relaxed and drugged out that I had to do it.  It was
just too good to resist. I just had to have some fun.

I jumped out of my chair and yelled Boo!  It caused a cat explosion
like I have never seen before.  Both Pepper and Simba puffed up and
tried to levitate from the box - of course they were crammed in the
box so tightly that the box levitated along with them.  Then there was
a mad scramble when the box hit the ground again.  Kitty feet and fur
was flying.  Both the boys ran upstairs to get away from the mean mommy
only to skulk back an hour later for another dose of 'nip.
