Re: Pets.
Our 3 celebrated their 6th BD yesterday with a trip out to our back yard to play in the catnip bush (they're indoor cats).

Re: Pets.
Cats who enjoy each others' company—I'm jealous.
So do you harvest your own catnip?

Re: Pets.
In reality they only enjoy each others company when they're outside or mesmerized looking out the window at some sort of critter in the yard. When they were younger, the slept piled on top of each other, but as they get older, their independence began to show more.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Jul 2021, 12:44pmCats who enjoy each others' company—I'm jealous.

We cut off pieces of catnip and bring them inside for our cats to enjoy, they roll around on it, nipple on it etc..put some inside their toys as well. We planted a small catnip plant with a chicken wire frame around it to prevent the neighborhood cats from decimating it. It's now grown up and through the openings and is going to see, I really need to trim it back soon.

Re: Pets.
Yeah, the girls just hit a moment at around 15 mos or so and decided, nope, you used to be cool, but I need my space. Luke would love to pal around with them, but they ain't into it, so instead he chases. He's basically a 13 year old who does not know how to make girls like him.Sparky wrote: ↑08 Jul 2021, 12:55pmIn reality they only enjoy each others company when they're outside or mesmerized looking out the window at some sort of critter in the yard.

I'd really like to try planting some next year, but attracting neighbour cats would just inspire panic and misplaced violence in the house. It's such an attractive idea, tho.We cut off pieces of catnip and bring them inside for our cats to enjoy, they roll around on it, nipple on it etc..put some inside their toys as well.

Re: Pets.
We've had half a dozen plants over the years, if you decide to plant, try to get a small plant, not seeds, then put some type of chicken wire around it or the neighborhood cats will just destroy it rolling around in it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Jul 2021, 1:33pmYeah, the girls just hit a moment at around 15 mos or so and decided, nope, you used to be cool, but I need my space.

Cat observation: Human beings don't care for your stink after a sweaty workout, but cats find you especially appealing. Luke in particular can't enough of me and my towel.

Re: Pets.
We've had many cats over the years and one of our current cats, Max, hisses at me when I return home all sweaty from running or walking. Once I get cleaned up and changed, he's all loving again.

Re: Pets.
Huh. Whenever our cats get high and mighty about smells, I remind them that they lick their butt and walk in their poo box, so lose the ascot, Percy.Sparky wrote: ↑10 Jul 2021, 9:46amWe've had many cats over the years and one of our current cats, Max, hisses at me when I return home all sweaty from running or walking.

Re: Pets.
So true! Pretty sure my perspiration aroma is more pleasant than cat butt, but I may be bit biased.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jul 2021, 10:25amHuh.
