Yesterday, I posted a pic of Nellie with her chin resting on her toy that we call Herr Rabbit. (Pun intended) Nellie never showed much interest in this toy. That was until I started rubbing catnip leaves on it. Now she loves him.
The other day, Pricilla’s publicist posted a pic of their cat, Sherpa. He was contentedly enjoying being in what appeared to be a shopping sack. The post went on to explain that it was a catnip scented sack. How would Nellie react to something like that? I had to find out.
I picked some catnip leaves. I rubbed them all over the inside of a sack that had been in the coat closet. Then with camera in hand, I watched.
Nellie sniffing the sack contents
She liked it. Nellie is not the youngster that Sherpa is and that may be why she didn’t take up residence inside. She did, however, manage to snag the catnip, pull it out and devour it. What did you expect her to do?
Always nice to see other cats 🙂
Yes, it is. I liked your posts on cats of Sitges, Spain. Cataluñia is one part of Spain that I haven’t visited. :hkitty:
I just found a bag of dried catnip that I was drying in the shed. I shall have to try the old bag/catnip trick. My cats both still enjoy a bag. Especially if it is plastic and crinkles when they walk on it.
Good idea. Did you see Patty W’s post on the catnip bag?
You are a good papa- you give her fun things to do.
I try to be good to her. When I find something different like that catnip rubbed sack, Nellie responds well. And is a little more playful for a while. Now if I could get some more good ideas that don’t involve spending money in a pet store.
Nellie should be very happy and excited to find red mushrooms inside.
She was, Rainfield, she was. :awe:
Sounds like Nellie’s smart to me. 🙂
She is very smart. She has Sylvia and me well trained. :rolleyes:
