Jay:

I have a huge catnip plant in my garden, but the cats do not really crave it. Sometimes I clip a sprig and rub the leaves in my hands. They are more attracted to it that way.

Last week I went to the nursery and picked up a few herbs...10 for $ 14 but if you bought 10, you got two free ones. So, I decided to buy another catnip plant. This time it was a different variety.

I put all the herbs on the side of my house ready to plant the next day, but lo and behold, it snowed. So, I had to cart the 12 herbs into the garage ... one by one. As I did this I noticed that one of the plants looked like a skeleton of its former self. Guess which one it was? The catnip.

Evidentally this variety is the one the cats will crave. NOw it is sitting outside, covered with a plastic milk carton (bottom out) waiting to get a lot bigger.

We have six cats. One lives at my husband's office. She works there...we are thinking of deducting her cat food as an office expense. The four boys lives at home and stay outside, and our latest member, Miss Psycho Kitty is an in and out cat. She's only a year old and very energetic at 4AM when the birds sing.
