Persia's Catnip Sock
Every couple of weeks I refill Persia's "sock" with the good catnip (I keep
it stored in the freezer). Her "sock" has a velcro closure to make emptying and refilling it simple. Catnip only makes her slightly crazy. She doesn't normally get the zoomies but she rolls around with it and bunny kicks it into submission. Then it's time for her to give it a good washing Last night she did the bunny kick thing but I guess she was too tired to wash the sock. Next thing I knew, she had wrapped her paws around it and laid her head on it like a pillow and was sound asleep. She looked so sweet! (Darnit why isn't my digital camera battery here yet?!) Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

What the heck type of battery does you camera take that needs to be ordered??? I go to Walgreens to get mine. Hugs, CatNipped |

My camera is a 4 year old Sony Mavica that takes 3.5 diskettes rather than memory sticks or whatever those things are. Best Buy didn't have the battery in stock so I ordered one online. Jill |

I do the same thing with socks! I partially fill them with dryer lint (the
soft fluffy kind from my blankets)...then add some catnip. I never thought of storing catnip in the freezer. Does it stay fresher longer this way? And do you freeze the store bought kind or is it the fresh grown kind? |

Of
course, you do end up with lumpy soggy socks lying around, but that just adds to the appeal of your decor! *lol* I agree...I have to, I have 7 of them lying around just now. |

When mine get holes, I've put nip in the toes (often the heel goes first) tie a knot in the foot of the sock to hold the nip in place and provide a good solid place to dig in the claws and teeth, and voila, something that will provide months, if not years, of fun! Of course, you do end up with lumpy soggy socks lying around, but that just adds to the appeal of your decor! I bought a package of baby socks (the teeny tiny ones) and filled them with catnip and closed them with crochet thread wrapped around the opening several times and then knotted. Purrs and Hugs, Nan |

Nope, not a real sock I bought the catnip at the store. I could grow my own in pots on my patio, I suppose, but I'm a lazy gardener (and it might attract other cats which would freak Persia out, she doesn't like other cats). Jill |
