A couple of days ago, I got the monthly MeowBox, and thought that Ryder and her kittens might like some new toys.
I never thought about the fact that the toys all had catnip in them.
As it turns out? Ryder’s a fan of the ‘nip.
A BIG fan.
“Oh BOY do I feel good…”
“This stuff is AWESOME.”
“What… what’s Mama doin’?”
“MAMA! What you DOIN’?!”
Bunny-kicking Clutch in the head, is what she was doing.
Then she tussled with Gauge.
She unhinged her jaw to try to stuff the whole catnip PB&J toy into her mouth.
Then settled for rubbing her face on it.
Then she zoned out.
I swear I’ve never seen a cat react so quickly and strongly to catnip toys – the toys Meowbox sends out are always awesome (the baguette toy has always been a favorite) and the cats and kittens usually love them, but I swear within 10 seconds of my putting those toys on the floor, Ryder was ON them.
I’m thinking that I need to introduce her to fresh catnip one day soon.
