Roger Deb's right any kind of grass will do. If you try to plant catnip you gotta keep it inside until it is grown and plant plently cause the cats roll around in it so much. In the winter you can dry the sprigs and crumble it for those kids and they will never stray.
Little Nermal is quite active enough without catnip, thank you very much.
Maybe he needs stimulation to quiet him.
I use catnip to both rev-up and calm down my cat.
What he needs to quiet him down is called a baseball bat.
maybe he just needs to sit in a small dark space, like a sack.
Small dark spaces are exactly what he is expert at finding whenever I reach for the bat.
Cats do need their hiding places, don't they?
mmmm, especially when there are bats and small children about. And, my cat has taken to fleeing when he hears the syringe caps coming off.
Poor little feller.
I had to capture Leto today for a trip to the vet. Finally got the bandages off, but catching him was a trip. They can usually tell when something is up, can't they?
your bandages? Or the cat's? Heehee. Yeah, they know what's up. Good thing Screech is a little slow.
I have beef for screech tonight, I'll give him some raw. He's got some serious cravings
The cat's of course. Had he not had an injured leg, he never would have come up and let himself be caught. I think he's 7 or 8 weeks old now, but don't know much about kittens.
Aaaaaaw, love kittens.
I was kidding about possible injuries you might have sustained from trying to corner a semi-ferral cat.
I think kitten injuries can be equal to ferrals...
kittens are nuts
yep..cute though
and they have those needle teeth and claws.
exactly my point
ouch!
I guess they are lucky they're cute
I believe kittens, like human babies, have developed a killer line in cute in order to inveigle their parental unit (mummy only, in the case of the cat)to care for them - despite the effects of said needles on the parental nippleage.....
owie owie owie
Great theory Deb I believe you have answered the question and solved the problems of the entire world. We need more cuteness.
Got my shipment of grass from Petsmart. So, it comes in a plastic tub filled with vermiculite and fuzzy instructions. Add 2 1/2 cups of water it says, but does not say whether the lid goes back on the tub or not. As I discovered, it shouldn't. The vermiculite swells and pushes up the lid, leaving my nice little lawn with a humongous hump in the center.
Right now, my pasture is about 2 inches high. I am hoping that vermiculite is solid enough that a cat can graze without uprooting the grass. Otherwise, somebody may have to get out the mower and serve the stuff on plates.
