Little bit o nip...



 

Indigo trials the catnip banana...

 

 

... while Ava gets high on the chilli pepper

 

 

It's ridiculous really. The cats have a bajillion and one toys, most of which they totally ignore, but still I find myself incapable of going onto a pet store and not picking a new one up. This time it was brightly coloured catnip toys. 'Cosmic Catnip'. They are apparently filled with 100% strong, American nip, and true enough, you could smell it in the pet shop

 

The cats could certainly smell it. The moment I got home they all woke up, sniffing, eager to get at what was in the bags, and I immediately regretted only buying two- Ava and Theo had to wait for their fix. I bought a pepper and a banana, but there were four more in the set, which doesn't bode well for future spending! But they weren't too expensive- £3- £4 each I think, so we might find a fish, or a carrot, or whatever joins the collection some time soon.

 

The nipfest is, for now, over, temporarily at least, the toys are limp and drool-sodden (urgh) and all four mogs are sozzled. Recommended!

Plenty Of Room At The Inn

 

 

This is the cats' other present- a lovely wooden cat cubby thingummyjig with a useless but adorable verandah. I picked it up for half price sometime in the summer. Merry Christmas, mogs.

 

I set it up yesterday morning. So naturally the cats have all given it a wide berth. Bag of washing, shopping, something breakable? Snoopervision from every whiskered being in the house. Something specifically FOR the cats? Ignore, ignore, ignore. But of course. *rolls eyes*

 

I suspect there might be more interest tomorrow though. Santa's gonna sprinkle it with catnip tonight. That ought to get the girls going at any rate. Ho, Ho, Ho!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Mighty Huntress

And all that was left was a feather...

Heh... lots of pictures of Sofia of late! I couldn't resist, having managed to take several that didn't just come up as a vaguely cat shaped black blob. It'll be another 6 months now before I manage to get a passable one

Sofia is very brave when it comes to duffing up a feather teaser, but not so brave when when confronted wuth a live enemy! I forgot to shut the living room door earlier, and Sofia decided to saunter in. Of course Indigo objected to this state of affairs. Indigo chased Sofia up the hall and naturally much kitty foul language was uttered. Mainly by Indigo I suspect, who is never slow to let loose, vocally. A lady she is not!

*sigh* poor Sofia! I suspect that Sofia would, now, co-operate with Inds given the chance, I'm not saying they would be buddies, but they might at least avoid/ tolerate each other. But Indigo now has a total hate on both the other girls, and won't budge from that. I must say it does make things jolly difficult.

Well, unless I get the catnip out. Then it's a different story, for a few minutes, at least...
