I decided that since there is a three day weekend, it would be the perfect time to harvest and dry some catnip for the cats. I might start another plant because this one got stressed over the winter and there's a lot of dead stems I can't get rid of. I got only two dehydrator trays full of cat nip.

Miome has put "Videos for Cats to Watch" on her laptop and let it running. It's a video of various birds coming up to eat a pile of seeds in front of a camera. My cats are fascinated.

They are already annoyed at me for putting flea medication on them earlier.

Happy New Year!

Youngest cat has a thing about left over food. It absolutely must be covered once he is done with it. Just scratching at the floor around the plate with the left over food isn't enough. No. There has to be something on it. And if there is nothing around that can be pulled onto the plate, youngest cat will go find something ( Read more... )
