2 cat questions
I'm a relatively new cat owner, George has been with me since
September and I have a couple of questions. First off, does raw catnip sprinkled over the cat food 1 tsp have the same digestive aid properties that the grass you can grow for cats has? Also, do cats have feelings in their tails? Often I'll have a bath at night and George will pay me a visit. Sometimes he'll sit on the edge of the bathtub just looking around and about an inch or two of his tail will go in the water. It doesn't seem to bother him, doesn't elicit any reaction at all really. He'll just sit there with part of his tail in the water. Any ideas? Just a guy and his cat. |

Yet one of my cats used to do the same thing, inch or two of end of her tail in the bath water, & she appeared to be completely unaware of it. ;-) Cathy |

My old calico kitty (Scamper- RB early this year), would do the same thing, but she had a thing about water- she'd get into the shower with me and sit in the mist- not the direct spray from the shower, but the mist that bounces off the floor of the stall. She'd also go out and sit in the mist from the lawn sprinklers. When she was thoroughly soaked, she'd come in and want to be petted. yuck... wet cat. She always looked so insulted when I'd rub her all over with a towel before letting her up on my lap. Katrina |

Personally, I wouldn't feed the cats catnip. I never heard of doing that.
They like to roll in it and cuddle with toys that have it. My Pepper used to dangle her tale in the bath water when she was younger. I think she liked that the water was warm. She still loves to drink even hot bath water. Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

catnip is a member of the mint family. Most cats actually want to eat it.
There is no problem with them eating it. "Barb" wrote in message erio.net... Personally, I wouldn't feed the cats catnip. I never heard of doing that.
