Fun With Catnip

Every once in a while we buy cat toys. Not that our cats need amusement - there's always something to do or someone to play with in our house, and they usually sleep 23 hours a day anyway. So when we buy catnip toys we're really doing it for us, not them. We get some sick enjoyment out of watching our pets get high on herbs. Beanie makes a complete fool of himself as he rolls his large self around on the bed nuzzling the little catnip fish. Every once in a while he takes a break and just lays there on his back in a stupor, seemingly unable to move a muscle. What a sight.

At one point Tango became interested in what Beanie was doing - hey, it looked like fun and she wanted to play too. Beanie hissed and swatted her on the nose to make it clear that this was his toy and that she had better keep away. Poor Tango. She just wanted to join in the fun.
