Michael's parents so generously sent Gizmo a present in the mail this week. The contents: a hollowed-out mouse to put catnip in and like a year's supply of catnip. Our cat has apparently developed the taste for the buds over the past year. Maybe because she hasn't had any for 9 months or so she's having a surprising reaction to it. I'm not sure. What I do know is that she is a crack head now.
She could smell the catnip before we even opened the package. Michael had to keep pushing her back while he tried to open it up and stuff the mouse. She wasn't liking the waiting part of presents. Surprisingly, Michael does not either. So, we presented the catnip to her in pure form sprinkled on the floor and also stuffed in the mouse. She licked up every morsel she could get her tongue on and then proceeded to go nuts with the mouse for about an hour. She is officially in love.
After her little romp, she was in a state of ecstasy causing Michael to worry that she was overdosing. She contentedly napped on the edge of the bed with her mouse carefully tucked under her belly for safekeeping. Every so often, she would wake up and attack her mouse for a while.
I have never seen her react like this, so it was quite funny for us and we had to take a zillion pictures. Enjoy!
