Dot's insanity
I happened to buy a refillable catnip mouse while I was shopping for
catfood at PetSmart. When I got home, Buster watched intently as I filled the little internal pouch from a vial of dried catnip. He's always the more curious when I have a new toy. When I put down the mousie though, Dot swooped right in. She started acting bonkers, rolling around while nuzzling and biting the mousie. She finally started holding it flush against her face, breathing heavily through it like a distressed airline passenger desperately clutching an oxygen mask. She made occasional snorting sounds as she started to roll around with the mousie on her face, like she was reenacting a facehugger scene from an Aliens film. Buster watched all of this in horror, before slinking behind a nearby couch. When Dot finally recovered, she had the munchies, so went over to the food bowls, eating ravenously. Buster, seeing that the coast was clear, also went to check out dinner. But Dot had cleaned them out, and he sat staring sadly at his empty bowl. |

Lucy Lu is a nip head and does the same thing. Ann |

Boyfie only reacts a bit to a old sock filled with catnip - he rolls on it for a few minutes and rubs it with his cheek but loses interest quite soon. Kitty Farmcat was totally immune. I'd love to get Boyfie high on catnip because he is so serious and dignified it would do him good, but it seems to have a limited effect. Tweed |

Tweed (piggybacking because I still can't see tak's posts) Persia likes it when I refill her "mouse". I store the dried catnip in the freezer. I'm thrilled Dot had fun with the evil weed Jill |

I have to ask, did Dot have a hangover? Staring sadly at the food bowl is pretty effective at getting it filled. |
