Cats on drugs

God must have loved cats. He gave them their very own recreational drug: catnip. And it's all natural, of course. I used to pick it fresh in our garden in Montana. My lover's cat, Oscar, could eat a whole, large plant in one sitting, stems and all.

Of course, tonight I served it dried, on recycled paper plates.

The blurb on my "Smarty Kat" 100% certified organic catnip ("Safe, pure and potent") reads:

Satisfies your cat's need for... Stimulation

For most cats, catnip provides fun, focused energy and enthusiasm that mellows into purr pleasure. An aromatic oil in the leaves and blossoms of the catnip plant safely stimulates play and pleasure in cats. . . .

Right now they're zonked out on their favorite sleeping furniture.

Yes, for sure. Now I have to vacuum the floor before the counter installers come, which is soon.
