am surprised he did not just s**t on the pair of you out of meanness. My sympathy to B suppose l better share some sympathy with you as well... when l finish laughing

Re: Must have cat toy

nope we both got mangled - he managed to get both wrists slashed (we did both end up laughing when he said 'how the hell do I go into work with these tomorrow and convince them I havnt tried to bloody top myself') We both felt jaspers displeasure - I have a particularly painful but tiny scratch right on the end of my nose (well just inside it actually where he got a claw stuck) and a nice set of track marks all the way up my right leg , my body , and a really nice deep set of four on my shoulder where he jumped from. Morris just sat and watched the whole thing! (have sent you a pm)

He is much much better this morning and has only hissed at me a couple of times today

The pair of them are laid out on the mat now guarding the fire like a couple of really mean bouncers outside some exclusive night club

I swear B is a saint what state was he in post cat as l doubt that you offered to help at all. You would have been to busy laughing and offering advice. Eish the poor thing.

All 4 of my cats just luuuuurve catnip ..... I give them each a little pile of dried catnip.... the best is the Company of Animals one... it used to be called Cosmic Catnip..... which I think was a great name but they recently changed to to something else....?can't remember what.... anyway they all just spend half an hour rolling and dribbling and chewing, very chilled and very relaxed.

Have just ordered some rats for them..... thanks... love finding new (cheaper) toys for them

yup I think mine dont really do the 'soft' drugs like catnip - they prefer unadulterated valerian

Have been using valerian for years - in fact when I was using my cats for filming (Bomber, Oscar and Fossil) we always used to get premium rates because they were working exceptionally well to cues, and valerian was always in there somewhere. - ie one of them had to walk really close alongside somebody and 'trip' them up - so we rubbed valerian on the actors trouser leg! worked very very well

will add I only used cats for filming that were happy to do it - if they were unhappy we stopped. Could never do anything like that with the boys now - these are a really unruly pair

Re: Must have cat toy

Caro Laithwaite VN — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:03:08 GMT

it is the valerian not the catnip. I have seen Sals 2 insane creatures in action and they just added the catnip because people know what it is meant to do.

I got some of these as well, I am giving them as xmas presents to my parents cats and my uncles cat, the other one will prob go to my 3 but have hidden them in a drawer so they can't get to them!! Have to say think these were the best catnip toys available this year!!

Does catnip affect all cats?

No - not all cats react to catnip. Susceptibility to behavioural changes has been shown to be inherited as a dominant trait in cats. This means that cats with one or both copies of the autosomal dominant gene will show behavioural changes when exposed to catnip. The effect is not seen in kittens, and in fact very young kittens tend to avoid catnip. Susceptibility to catnip starts to develop once kittens are six to eight weeks of age, fully developing when they are about 12 weeks old

well its not meant to! But when giving Luka a little bit Poppy stole a drop and well she went nuts! Maybe that is just her rather than the catnip though!! Who knows! Catnip doesn't have much of an effect on my Niamh!!

Hmm off 2 research again lol
