Opposite of catnip?
Is there anything that is essentially the opposite of catnip?
My recently adopted (about a month ago) 15 week old kitten has for the past two weeks been acting like she's high on catnip about half the time now. I'm certain she isn't, because she's an indoor cat (whether she likes it or not) and the catnip is sealed in an airtight container. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol "The little creep gets around."

Clorine bleach smells do it for my cat. He literally attacks my bath towels. He also goes crazy for my dirty clothes sometimes. He loves me, what can I say? pepsi |

Clorine bleach smells do it for my cat. Oh, yeah, after I clean the bathroom (with a product that contains bleach), Rowan goes ape**** for my hands. I have to wash them really good or she gets all crazy and nibbles too hard. Funny, though, she's the only one who is affected by it. The other two don't seem to notice. -- -- ~kaeli~ Never mess up an apology with an excuse. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

For no apparent reason, she'll just go wild. Running around the condo, trying to climb me or just running up to me and giving my leg a "claw hug" and then running away, attacking the bottom step, etc. All with a wild look (eyes wide, pupils dilated, ears pulled up and back). And usually when I'm either trying to work or I'm too achy or tired to play with her. This then also results in her not being in the mood to play when I'm available to play with her. I'm not a stranger to cats, but the last kitten I had was when I was a child, some 25~30 years ago. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol "I have done 400 years of penance in their service.

enlightened us with... For no apparent reason, she'll just go wild.

And usually when I'm either trying to work or I'm too achy or tired to play with her. This is pretty typical kitten behavior. Mine even do it as adults, though not as frequently. So does my Mom's cat. It is the primary reason I like to have more than one cat. They can go crazy with each other. And cats are most active at dawn and dusk. When mine DO do this, it is far more likely to occur at dawn or dusk than at any other time. Can you adopt a friend for her of around the same age? -- -- ~kaeli~ When two egotists meet, it's an I for an I. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
