That was some powerful nip that arrived today! Reilly just tore right into it (literally), and ended up having an odd, cosmic moment involving her left paw, her tail, and my hair. Not going to get into any more details. Need I say, the catnip is a major success? Happy cat!

Thank you!

Hugs and purrs,

Sounds like the stuff Kipper's canines sent a couple years ago. It is STILL potent and intoxicating to the felines. Periodically I stick some of it in a ziplock with toys that have lost their potency and it "refreshes" their appeal.

I believe my favorite moment this evening was when my husband walked into the room, saw the bits of leftover catnip strewn about the bed (with Mia and Reilly sort of lazily sniffing and munching on it), and asking me, confused, "Did someone try to roll a joint on our bed?" "Why yes, honey. The cats did, as a matter of fact."

I've been known to refer to the stuff my gang received as "Maui Wowie for cats".

Not that I would know what that refers to, of course.

LOL, I seem to remember being told that it was very potent.

Can everyone let me know if their pet(s) received their gifts, please?

Washington & Hershey checking in. They have received 2 boxes, 1 of which was opened when I was outvoted 3 to 1 (woulda been 4 to 1 if our organizer had been allowed to vote ) about making them wait until Christmas, and the other Washington is using as a perch from which to surveil the fish tank and Christmas tree. It will be opened on Christmas.

Thank you!

Hugs and purrs,
Heh- there is a good reason this potent cat crack had to be shipped directly from the vendor rather than detouring to my house first to be wrapped. Marino would have torn the box open...

Of course, Washington is a bit to stoned to articulate that thought at the moment, between the toys Jax and Sophia sent and the ones my Secret Santa sent, he is flying high!


Hershey looking smug in her new bed. She is definitely not sharing it with her brother!

That is great, my cats love ❤️ the cat beds with high sides too.

LOL, I've given up on buying beds for my three kibblers. Two refuse to use them, the third thinks it is a giant chew toy.
