We realized this weekend that since our move four months ago we haven’t been able to find the catnip. My husband liked to dole it out to the cats about once a week and it was always fun watching them spaz out on it. Happily for us, it affects all of them!
So we made a trip to the pet store and picked up a fresh bag. The ensuing high by all three cats can only be described as heavenly, with Sage being the biggest character of the bunch (above).
We usually drop three little piles on the floor — no …read more

Our cats love catnip. They love it so much that you can’t leave the container out where they can get to it or all you’ll hear all day (or night!) is them knocking it around the room, trying to get into it.
I’ve attempted to grow my own in the past using a little DIY container from the pet store, but the cats always seek it out before it gets a chance to grow much so I gave up on that and decided to stick with the dried and pre-packaged stuff.
Now that it’s spring you can find fresh catnip …read more

I’m on auto-pilot from here on out to get ready for a vacation! We’ve got a friend taking the dogs (couldn’t bear the thought of them being boarded, and this friend loves them so it works out!), the cats will have a neighbor checking in on them to make sure they’re not killing each other and check their food supplies (we leave them extra bowls and dishes of water and food, and extra litter boxes when we go), and the same neighbor is taking Simon the betta fish too.
We also got the cats some extra toys to keep them busy …read more

My cats are weird. We never gave them people food when they were young so over the years they actually turn their noses up at it. You could lay down a piece of steak or some cheese and they’ll sniff it and walk away. Turbo likes tortilla chips and yogurt, though – he will hunt you down if he even suspects you’ve got yogurt.
Anyway, I made this for them a while back and even though it smelled like a fantastic cat treat they didn’t care for it. Maybe yours will?
