Fatty is stoned!

[Toddlerteaplease]

The lovely pinkSparkly's Harry sent my girls some mice for Christmas which they've barely stopped playing with. ( they don't really play at all) so I bought some new ones that arrived today. Never seen Fatty have such a reaction to catnip!

Brilliant!

Sparklingcat sometimes has a really daft reaction to it and other times nothing. I bought some catnip spray and she wasn't that fussed.

I don’t know what sort of catnip is in those mice but it’s sting stuff! I’m so glad they liked the mice.

I tried the spray and it didn't work. They play with their other toys for a few days, but then loose interest. These have lasted the longest!

Sparklingcat has a toy box . But her very favourite playthings are drinking straws.

Harry has a basket full of toys! His favourites are the mice, a Christmas pudding and the catnip cushions his cat sitter makes.

This kickeroo and a couple of other toys are stored in a plastic box with a tea infuser full of loose-leaf catnip. I get one of the toys out once or twice a week.

I read somewhere that catnip can be reactivated by putting the toys in the microwave. Is it true?

It works well if the toy only contains catnip. If it's also stuffed with synthetic toy stuffing, it ends up smelling like burnt polyester rather than catnip.

Where do you get these things?

I'd love to see mine stoned and happy rather than haughtily barking out commands!

For the really good stuff, it's worth trying to get hold of the North American strains.

I bought 5g sample bags from three different sellers on eBay and then tried them out on her.

Where did you get the mice from?

Molly's mice came downstairs to find them both guarding a mouse each!

Toddler you're going to have to decipher that for me! (Maybe it's too early and I'm being a bit fick.)

So someone called Molly had a mouse who came downstairs and caught your cats playing with their mice??

We have various catmint planta in the garden but this is Sherlock's favourite. On summers days he lies amongst it for hours on end

The make of the mice is Mollys Mice and they are on Amazon - mice

I think I'll order some!
We used to have a complete stoner of a cat-a slightly chubby tabby. He would spend hours licking a catnip cigar, if you put catnip out he would eat it.
We got burgled once and they pulled the drawers out and the catnip was everywhere, cat was completely out if it until we could clear up.

Grammar fail! They are from a company called Molly's mice. I came downstairs to find both cats gaurding a mouse each.

yes to catmint ! GrumpyOldCat isn't fussed about catnip, but loves the cat mint. I should try to dry it... (we have a ot in the yard).

How long do they last for though? I often find my go nuts for five minutes and then never go back to them.

They were given the first lot for Christmas abd are still playing with them. That is a record!

For the really good stuff, it's worth trying to get hold of the North American strains.

Ernie loves his King Catnip 'fish'...it's a bit grubby so will have to get him a new one. It's in the living room at the moment but it has found it's way outdoors. He also loves Yeoww ones and tore at his stocking to get at one we bought

He turns his nose up at the catmint I planted for him...ungrateful sod

How long do they last for though? I often find my go nuts for five minutes and then never go back to them.

The effect wears off after a few minutes, so I take the toy away, put it in an airtight container and get it out another day.

That sounds brilliant, I'll get one of these Molly mice, thanks!
